Back to school Eye Check-up:
Summer is a great time to call and schedule an eye exam for those students in your family. Just as you are shopping for notebooks and school supplies, scheduling a comprehensive eye exam is a great way to insure your child will have a great learning experience. Many children start school with no thought to this most valuable tool for their success.
New patients are welcomed and we look forward to staying pro-active in protecting your child’s vision. The American Optometry Association (AOA) suggests that a back to school eye exam will insure that your child has good cognitive processes which affect his or her reading, writing and computer work. This key to your child’s classroom accomplishments. They’ll start school knowing their eye health is being managed with great care.
It is reported that over 60% of students who have learning disabilities, may suffer from undetected vision issues. We promote good vision care at an early age. Pediatricians may perform tests periodically to catch any issue that may arise from birth to pre-school. Children are much more responsive to treatment when it is diagnosed early in life.
Pre-schoolers normally enjoy looking at and reading books. If you notice your child is reluctant to read books, this may be a sign of a vision problem. If a child is expected to perform these reading tasks in early elementary school, a vision problem could easily cause childhood trauma if this is left untreated. Every child should have the opportunity to have good vision and diagnosing any issue early will allow the child to do his or her best in a learning environment.
