A child’s vision is consistently changing which makes
annual eye exams essential for optimal performance at school.
Eye exams are fully-covered for children under 19 years of age and are recommended every year, regardless of prior results. Vision is a child’s most important learning tool and poor vision can lead to poor results in school. Nation’s Vision specializes in child eye exams performing thousands of in-school portable exams each year.
Without an eye exam it is extremely difficult to know if your child has a problem with their vision.
Here are a few signs you may notice:
Frequent blinking or eye rubbing
Frequent squinting
Covering an eye
Difficulty performing during sports
Holding electronics & books close to their face
Short attention spans
Frequent headaches
Poor performance at school
