Children & their Vision
One out of every four children have a vision problem that can affect their learning and development. Over 80% of learning involves our vision. Common vision problems not detected and treated early can lead to lifelong visual disability and limit future career choices. Children with poor vision do not know what normal vision is. They often think everyone sees the same as they do. It is therefore important for parents to have their child’s eyes examined by age 3 and every year after.
