Add an Eye Check to Your Back to School Check-List

Every parent wants to ensure their child reaches all their developmental and educational milestones.

But for a child to perform at their best, their eyes need to as well. Did you know that children rely on their vision for 80% of their learning?

In our comprehensive children’s eye test, we not only evaluate the clarity of your child’s vision, we examine the internal and external health of the eyes and assess how well they work together as a team. If required, we provide a tailored eyecare solution that considers lifestyle and vision needs.

Good vision is crucial for a child’s educational, physical and social development.
Every parent wants to ensure their child sees every opportunity coming their way. But for a child to perform at their best, their eyes need to be working at their best as well.
Children often assume their vision is just like everyone else’s, which means that vision problems can easily go undetected. In fact, a staggering 1 in 5 kids have an undetected vision problem that can interfere with their ability to learn and absorb information.

Look out for the symptoms:

• Noticeable tilting or turning their head
• Frequently blinking or rubbing eyes
• Red or watery eyes
• Difficulty reading or holding a book very close
• Headaches and blurred or double vision
• Squinting
• One eye turning in or out
