Back to School EYEssentials

January 6, 2021

Every parent wants to ensure their child reaches all their developmental and educational milestones.


For a child to perform at their best, their eyes need to perform well too.  Did you know that children rely on their vision for 80% of their learning?

In our comprehensive children’s eye test, we not only evaluate the clarity of your child’s vision, we also examine the internal and external health of the eyes and assess how well they work together as a team.  If required, we provide a tailored eyecare solution that considers lifestyle and vision needs.
 
Good vision is crucial for a child’s educational, physical and social development.


Every parent wants to ensure their child sees every opportunity coming their way.  Children often assume their vision is just like everyone else’s, which means that vision problems can easily go undetected.  In fact, a staggering 1 in 5 kids have an undetected vision problem that can interfere with their ability to learn and absorb information.


There are many symptoms parents and teacher can look for which may indicate a vision problem:

  • Noticeable tilting or turning their head
  • Frequently blinking or rubbing eyes
  • Red or watery eyes
  • Difficulty reading or holding a book very close
  • Headaches and blurred or double vision
  • Squinting
  • One eye turning in or out


Put an eye test on your back-to-school checklist!


Whether they’re just starting out or well into their schooling, adding an eye test to your back-to-school list this year will give you peace of mind that your child won’t miss a thing.
