Children's Vision

Did you know eye disorders are the most common long-term health problems for children, along with allergies and asthma?* Good vision is important for a child’s educational, physical and social development. With many children suffering from an undetected vision problem, it’s important to be aware of the signs to give every child the best chance of reaching their full potential.

Many children aren’t aware they have a vision problem and will generally try to adapt, without knowing they could see better. As a parent, you’re the best person to help find the signs.
