Your Child's Sight
The wonders of the world are often first encountered through the eyes of a child. Yet without good vision, learning becomes more difficult.
Vision problems affect one in 20 preschoolers and one in four school-age children. Since many vision problems begin at an early age, it is very important that children receive proper eye care. Untreated eye problems can worsen and lead to other serious problems as well as affect learning ability, personality and adjustment in school.
