Focus on Eye Health - Back to School Basics

Did you know that 80% of all learning occurs through the eyes? Children are often unaware of a vision problem because they think everyone sees things as they do - even if images are blurred. Or they may not know how to express any vision concerns to the appropriate adult.

The only way to be certain that your child's vision is normal is with a thorough vision and eye health examination. The Canadian Association of Optometrists recommends that children have a vision and eye health examination by age three and annual visits thereafter.

Our doctors will test for:

Proper vision and make recommendations to achieve dear vision if necessary
Normal eye muscle balance and eye movements
Normal eye health
Depth perception and colour vision

Early detection and treatment of any problems will improve your child's ability to learn and get the most out of school.

Call one of our offices today to schedule an appointment for your child. Don't forget about your child's vision as part of back to school basics.
