The Importance Of Early Eye Care For Children
Good vision is essential for a child’s learning, development, and overall quality of life. Many childhood eye issues develop silently and go unnoticed without regular eye exams—particularly in the early years. Detecting and treating concerns such as astigmatism, amblyopia, or focusing problems early on gives your child the best chance of success at school and beyond.
Vision screening at school is not a substitute for a comprehensive eye exam by a qualified optometrist. We recommend your child have their first eye check before starting school and regular reviews as they grow.
