Does your child display behaviors, such as covering one eye, holding reading materials close to the face, have a short attention span, or complain of headaches or other discomfort? They could have an undiagnosed eye or vision problem.
During the month of August, we are offering FREE vision screenings for students, ages 6-18. No appointment necessary.
“From ages 6 to 18, a child’s vision can change frequently or unexpectedly which can lead to behavioral and attention issues in the classroom. This year, AOA encourages parents to start the school year on a healthy note by making comprehensive eye exams a priority and maintaining proper eye health throughout the year.” – source: American Optometric Association
