Did you know that your child needs to master 17 different visual skills to succeed in reading, learning and sports?
Basic vision screenings at school don’t test for any of these skills and do not reflect your child’s vision functionality. While these tests alert to the need for glasses, they don’t always catch the more subtle problems. A school vision screening lacks the comprehensiveness of a proper eye test and thus, cannot replace an eye exam at the optometrist.
Weak vision skills not only interfere with learning but can also reduce the child’s self-confidence and self-esteem Furthermore, identifying vision problems in children can be tricky as most children do not complain about vision problems because they do not realise their vision could be better! This is especially true if the problem is in just one eye.
With school holidays coming up, it is the best time to bring in your child for an eye test 👁.
Remember 80% of your child’s learning is obtained through their vision. Don’t let their vision hinder their learning and growth!
