Back to School Reminder: Eye Exams
Back-to-school prep isn’t just about new clothes and fresh supplies! A comprehensive eye exam should also be included in your child’s back to school checklist. Eye health is key to your child’s academic success.
Did you know?
– 80% of learning is done visually in the classroom
– An average of 1 in 3 kids in the United States have myopia and are often diagnosed between the ages of 8 and 12, but it can develop in earlier years
– Uncorrected astigmatism negatively impacts reading fluency and slows down reading speed
– Amblyopia or “lazy eye” is missed without an eye exam and will lead to permanent reduction in vision in one or both eyes
– A comprehensive eye exam is more thorough than a vision screening at school or a pediatrician’s office
Regular eye exams can detect vision problems that might be affecting your child’s learning. It is important to catch visual problems early.
