Why Vision Is Important for Success in School

Did you know that 80% of a child's learning happens through vision? This is why undetected vision problems often cause misdiagnoses like "learning difficulties" or "ADHD” — leading to further frustration by trying to address the wrong issues.

That’s why we recommend regular eye exams for children so that potential vision problems can be identified at an early stage.

School Vision Screenings vs. Comprehensive Eye Exams for Children

When it comes to your child's vision, relying solely on routine or school vision screenings might not paint the whole picture. Comprehensive eye exams go beyond the basics and delve into the details of your child's vision, ensuring healthy eye development.

They also help identify vision problems that could hamper your child's learning and overall development.

What is Assessed During a Pediatric Eye Exam?

When you bring your child for a pediatric eye exam, our eye doctors will assess the following visual skills:

  • Eye Focusing
  • Depth Perception
  • Color Perception
  • Eye Tracking
  • Eye Muscle Teaming
  • Peripheral Awareness
  • Near Visual Acuity
  • Distance Visual Acuity

How Often Should a Child Have an Eye Exam?

The American Optometric Association (AOA) recommends that you take your child for their first eye exam between 6–9 months old, another between 2–5 years old, and annual eye exams between 6–19 years old.

Contact Lenses for Teens

If glasses aren't your child’s cup of tea, contact lenses might just be the perfect solution.

    Even if your child passes a basic vision screening and has 20/20 eyesight, they can still lack the visual skills needed for reading, writing, and learning — which are key for academic success.
