In the blink of an eye, summer break is coming to a close. Just as quickly, our checklists grow longer in anticipation of the new school year that lies before us. In the midst of shopping for new school shoes, backpacks and supplies, let’s not forget the importance of an eye examination before sending the little ones back to the classroom.
Appropriate vision exams should start at an early age to ensure that your child has healthy vision to perform well in school. An eye screening before classes ramp up again can get them started on the right track.
Making annual trips to see an optometrist is just as important as yearly medical checkups. Though many schools offer vision screenings, these types of tests do not serve as substitutes for comprehensive eye exams, which are only performed by an optometrist. The exam includes careful testing and precise evaluation of all aspects of vision and checks for eye disease.

From contact lens fitting to finding proper frames, your child’s vision and ocular health are important to us.
