![]() Did you know that vision is responsible for 80% of all learning in your child’s first twelve years?^ Poor vision can interfere with your child’s learning and social development, yet often goes unnoticed. That’s why it’s important for children to have an eye examination prior to starting school and again every two years throughout their life, to monitor their vision and eye health. Making this a part of your child’s regular health care routine will give you peace of mind and confidence that they won’t miss a thing. Be aware of signs & symptoms Keeping an eye out for possible symptoms of a vision problem will ensure that any problems can be detected early to avoid any long-term damage.
