The importance of an Eye Exam has been proven time and time again.  However, we often neglect Eye Exams for our Children, thinking they are young and don’t need one.  We sometimes think that it is only the older generation that needs Eye Exams on a regular basis.  This is not so.  There are many vision problems which could affect your children if not taken care of early.  These vision problems could lead to learning disabilities, trouble paying attention in class, headaches and much more.

Many children suffer from inhibited learning due to eye conditions, which can be corrected easily with a visit to the optician.  Simon Eye Associates is encouraging parents to schedule appointments for the Holiday break in response to the statistic that up to 86 per cent of school-aged children have never had a thorough eye exam.  In fact, many patients who come in to Simon Eye Associates, having been previously diagnosed with learning impairments, but in reality all that needed correcting was poor eyesight or visual skills.  If your student struggled through the first half of this school year, now is the time to bring them for a complete eye exam. The problem may not be learning-related; it may be solved simply by getting corrective vision wear.  New imaging technology is being used to diagnose eye problems early and therefore maximise the effectiveness of treatment.
