Children's Health Information

Picture
Vision Screening
40% of Americans are near sighted and more than a third (34%) of teens and pre-teens (ages 12- 17) are affected.
80% of Learning occurs through the eyes
Loss of visual ability is slow and children generally do not complain about this. Look for signs like squinting, complaining about reading and other signs
Demand for visual abilities increase as children progress through school
With better eyesight, the experience of sports, soccer, base ball and others, all get better
Not just testing for near and far eyesight but a complete eye exam involving the inside and outside of the eye is essential.
