Pink for a purpose 💗

Astigmatism isn’t an eye disease — it’s simply an irregular shape of the cornea or lens that causes blurred or distorted vision at any distance.

Kids with astigmatism might:
🔹 Complain of headaches or tired eyes
🔹 Avoid reading or up-close work
🔹 Squint or tilt their head to see better

📊 Many children don’t notice anything is “wrong” — they just adapt.
🩺 An OHIP-covered eye exam can detect astigmatism early and correct it with glasses or contact lenses.

✅ First eye exam at 6 months
✅ Annual exams after age 3

Clear vision helps your child learn, play, and thrive.

✏️🚌Vision plays a bigger role in learning than most people realize. 📚✂️

Reading, focusing, understanding lessons, and participating in class — all of these depend heavily on clear vision.

Yet many children go years without ever having an eye exam. Why? Because they don’t know what “clear” is supposed to look like — and they can’t describe what they’ve never seen clearly.

That’s why back-to-school season is a great time to raise awareness about the importance of children’s eye health.

Ontario's optometrists are dedicated to helping doctors and patients learn and grow.
