Getting ready to go back to school keeps families pretty busy. One thing to add to the checklist: Eye Exams.
80% of all learning is through the visual system, making eye health and awareness of vision disorders essential in a student's academic performance.
Undetected problems with vision can impact a student's athletic engagement, social interaction, and even their self-esteem.
Unlike adults, younger children may not be able to communicate vision issues, and they may not even realize that they have a problem.
Recent studies have shown that children spend an average of six to nine hours on screens daily, potentially causing eye fatigue and vision impairment.
Regular eye exams can help to detect and correct visual disorders, helping to set your student up for success.
