IT'S BACK TO SCHOOL TIME


1 IN 4 CHILDREN IN THE U.S. HAVE A VISION IMPAIRMENT SIGNIFICANT ENOUGH TO
AFFECT THEIR LEARNING ABILITY.

Since 80 % of what children learn is through their eyes, seeing clearly in the
classroom is absolutely critical for their success.

If you child is experiencing frequent headaches, a short attention span, avoids
reading or other close activities, frequently rubs their eyes, and tilts their
head to one side, they may have a vision problem.

The best way to rule out a vision problem and know whether your child needs
glasses is to have them undergo a comprehensive eye exam before the school year
begins.
