Eye exams for kids going back to school are an important part of the
school “readiness” that parents should include in their “Back to School
Checklist”. Children use their eyes and vision as critical tools in their
learning process. Kids today operate in
a very intense and demanding visual environment as they read, write, play
sports, use computers and tablets and on and on…and it is easy to see why
scheduling a Back to School eye exam is so important.
The most frequent eye problems we find in school age kids are the common
vision problems of nearsightedness, farsightedness and astigmatism. Sometimes,
not having clear vision in the classroom can lead to the undeserved perception
of a behavioral problem or attention problem. What we know is that kids are
often unable to verbalize that they have a vision problem as they just don’t
recognize it. The earlier a vision problem is detected and treated, the more
likely treatment will be successful.
