Children may not realize or don’t know how to express they have vision problems, adults may not notice subtle changes, while many conditions don’t have any symptoms at all.
The American Optometric Association reveals why the success of your child may depend on a vision exam.
“A child needs many abilities to succeed in school. Good vision is a key. It has been estimated that as much as 80% of the learning a child does occurs through his or her eyes. Reading, writing, chalkboard work, and using computers are among the visual tasks students perform daily. A child’s eyes are constantly in use in the classroom and at play. When his or her vision is not functioning properly, education and participation in sports can suffer.”
A spokesperson for the American Academy of Ophthalmology. Dr. Sumers explains, “many school age children suffer from nearsightedness, or myopia. In fact, a recent study showed over a third of children ages 12 through 17 are nearsighted in the United States. Over 60% of students who have learning disabilities, may suffer from undetected vision issues.”
A back to school eye exam with Lake Nona Eye Care, 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.
