VISION = SUCCESS
The American Optometric Association (AOA) has found that up to 80 percent of learning occurs through your children’s eyes. Every day your child must read, write, and view a chalkboard.
But many of our children may be struggling in school because of vision-related issues. As many as one in four kids has a vision problem that has gone undetected. Having your child’s eyes examed by a Doctor of Optometry every year before school starts can help them get the right prescription glasses to help them succeed.
