Back to School Eye Exams

A vision screening in school can miss major eye problems, and many children with eyes issues may never see an optometrist. Not treating vision problems like nearsightedness can cause children to fall behind in school work and have lower grades. Additionally, seeing an eye doctor can help with myopia control and offer ortho-k treatments to reshape the eye. Help your child prepare for school with an eye exam at Today's Vision in Aubrey, TX, Salina, TX, Crossroads, TX, Little Elm, TX, and Frisco, TX.

Are Your Kid's Eyes Ready to Go Back to School? 

Kids suffering from blurry vision have trouble reading and focusing, which can impede their learning ability. Therefore, an optometrist can recommend children have an eye exam before the start of the new school year. A school-provided screening can only detect a few vision problems, such as nearsightedness, which can lead to recommending myopia control. However, school vision screenings are not full optometry exams and can miss many other conditions.

Benefits of a Back to School Eye Exam

A back to school eye exam with our optometrist can provide school-aged children with many benefits. For example, a clear vision helps children see in school, which can improve classroom performance and sports. Additionally, seeing an eye doctor can help identify, or provide a diagnosis for, various conditions and offer treatments, such as ortho-k, to help the child's eyesight.
