Scheduling a comprehensive eye test before the school year begins is crucial, as 80% of learning is visual, and 1 in 5 children may have an undetected vision issue. Early detection prevents learning, behavioral, and confidence issues. Experts recommend annual exams for children, particularly focusing on identifying symptoms like sitting close to screens, squinting, or rubbing eyes.

Key Reasons for a Back-to-School Eye Test:
🍎Boost Academic Performance: Uncorrected vision problems can make learning difficult, causing fatigue and frustration.
🍎Early Detection: Conditions like short-sightedness, lazy eye (amblyopia), and squinting can be treated more effectively if caught early.
🍎Digital Strain: Increased use of screens for education and leisure has increased the prevalence of myopia (short-sightedness) in children.
🍎Convenience: Scheduling during school holidays ensures no missed class time.

Signs of Vision Issues in Children:
🤓Squinting, blinking frequently, or rubbing eyes.
😎Sitting too close to the television or holding books/devices very close.
🥸Complaining of headaches or tired eyes.
🧐Poor reading performance or losing their place while reading.

According to our Victorian Cancer Registry (VCR), more than 3,000 Victorians were diagnosed with melanoma in 2023. More than 164,000 treatments for other forms of skin cancer were recorded in this same year.

But the good news is skin cancer is almost entirely preventable by using the five forms of sun protection: Slip into sun-protective clothing, Slop on SPF50+ sunscreen, Slap on a broad-brimmed hat, Seek shade, and Slide on sunglasses.

Make sure to protect yourself when the UV is 3 and above ☀️
