Childrens’ vision and eye exams are an important item on the back to
school “readiness” checklist and D’Ambrosio Eye Care recommends that kids have
an eye exam to start the school year right! While most parents can easily
observe that children today operate in a very intense and demanding visual
environment as they read, write, play sports, use computers and tablets-but the
eye doctors at D’Ambrosio Eye Care want to be sure to remind parents that children use their eyes and vision as
critical tools in the learning process.
The most frequent eye problems we find in school age kids are the common
vision problems of nearsightedness, farsightedness and astigmatism. Sometimes,
not having clear vision in the classroom can lead to the undeserved perception
of a behavioral problem or attention problem. What we know is that kids are
often unable to verbalize that they have a vision problem as they just don’t
recognize it. The earlier a vision problem is detected and treated, the more
likely treatment will be successful.
