🌸 Spring Break is Coming… Is Your Child’s Vision Ready? 👓

Just because your child says they “see fine” doesn’t always mean their vision is problem-free.

Kids often don’t realize:
• Blurry vision isn’t normal
• Frequent headaches can be vision-related
• Squinting isn’t just a habit

Many vision problems don’t show obvious symptoms — and children rarely complain because they think everyone sees the way they do.

Healthy vision plays a HUGE role in learning, sports, and confidence.

Let’s make sure their eyes are ready for the rest of the school year 💙

Did you know kids exams are fully covered by MSP!
📅 Call now or visit us online to book your child in for their next eye exam.

Did you know that 1 in 4 children has a vision problem that can affect learning, reading, and confidence in school? Many children don’t realize their vision isn’t clear — that’s why regular eye exams are so important.

Meet Opie, the friendly mascot for BC Doctors of Optometry 💙
Opie helps remind families that healthy eyes help kids see, learn, and thrive!

👓 Why children’s eye exams are important:
• Vision can change quickly as kids grow
• Eye exams can detect issues early — even before symptoms appear
• Good vision supports reading, learning, and classroom success

💡 Good news for parents!
MSP covers annual eye exams for children under 19 in BC, making it easy to stay on top of your child’s eye health.

📅 When should kids have their eyes checked?
Children can have their first eye exam as early as 6 months, and should continue with eye exams every year as they grow to make sure their vision is developing properly.
