A new study provides the first clear evidence that vision or eye problems are rarely the cause of recurring headaches in children, even if the headaches usually strike while the child is doing schoolwork or other visual tasks. Many parents assume that frequent headaches mean their child needs glasses, so they ask their doctor to refer their child for an eye exam. This study was conducted by pediatric ophthalmologists who wanted to find reliable answers for parents, family doctors and pediatricians facing this common health question. The research is being presented today at the 116th Annual Meeting of the American Academy of Ophthalmology, conducted jointly this year with the Asia-Pacific Academy of Ophthalmology. http://medicalxpress.com/news/2012-11-children-headaches-rarely-eyeglasses.html Ophthalmology Mon, 12 Nov 2012 09:41:55 EST news271935703 In a new study that has implications for distracted drivers, researchers found that people are better at juggling some types of multitasking than they are at others. http://medicalxpress.com/news/2012-07-multitasking-dangerous.html Psychology & Psychiatry Mon, 23 Jul 2012 12:35:17 EST news262265685 No matter how much time you've spent training your brain to multitask by playing "Call of Duty," you're probably no better at talking on the phone while driving than anybody else. http://medicalxpress.com/news/2012-06-videogamers.html Psychology & Psychiatry Wed, 13 Jun 2012 10:51:28 EST news258803480
