Many children who appear to have learning disorders may really only be having vision problems.
So it is important to have their eyes checked regularly
1 in 4 children may have vision problem which can affect their study, school performance and future self esteem. Yet many of these children do not receive any form of vision care.
 As 80% of all learning during the first 12 years of schooling is obtained through sight, any vision problem can cause learning difficulties.
It is therefore vital for parents, teachers and eye care professionals to work together to identify vision defects to give best learning results.
Problems such as short-sight, long-sight and astigmatism are easily identified and corrected.
It is best to have regular eye checks, at least every year, even if you do not observe the child having any difficulty in vision.
Our optometrists would happily check your child's eyes and advice you on the best course of action.
