More than seeing 20/20
Vision plays a key role in how children learn, read, play and interact with the world around them. While clear eyesight is important, vision is much more than seeing 20/20. Children need their eyes to work together to focus efficiently, track words across a page and process the visual information comfortably.
Some children may need more than glasses to help with difficulties involving eye teaming, tracking and visual processing. Vision therapy can address with issues such as convergence insufficiency and binocular or eye movement disorders.
If your child struggles with reading, complains of eye strain or headaches when reading or seems to be working harder than expected on visual tasks, an eye exam is good place to start.
Back to school
Vision plays a huge role in how children learn, read, focus, and engage in the classroom, yet many kids go years without an eye exam.
They can’t tell you what they’ve never seen clearly. But their optometrist can.
Here at Owl Optometry, our doctors look at a child’s comprehensive eye exam differently. We assess more than just visual acuity, and make sure your child has the necessary visual skills to reach their highest learning potential.
Make sure your child is properly assessed before they head back to class and give them the clarity they need to thrive in the classroom and beyond.
