Ever wondered why school children need eye test?
>School kids need eye tests because they can’t tell you their vision is bad.
>Kids think “blurry” is normal if they’ve never seen clearly. And 80% of learning is visual, so undetected eye problems could contribute to struggles in class.
>Its important to Catch problems early before they mess up learning and cause a child to be labeled “distracted” or “slow”.
An eye test may help stop headaches, eye strain, and loss of interest in reading.
Kids with uncorrected eye problems will just say “I don’t like school”, when really they just have eye strain which a simple pair of glasses can fix.
>School screening isn’t just for glasses, it can help to determine if a child may have other eye diseases and could help with better eye treatment options.
>Kids are on screens and doing close work more than ever which may result to myopia. Early myopia detection lets you manage it with myopia control methods, thereby reducing progression and consequently, retinal detachment risk later in life
>A basic school vision screening costs less than a textbook, but it changes grades, confidence, and impacts a child's self esteem.
Bottom line: You don’t wait for a kid to complain about their eyes. By the time they complain, they’ve already been struggling for months. A school eye test is the easiest way to make sure vision isn’t the reason a kid is failing.
