Happy Thursday! The weekend is almost upon us, we do hope you've had an amazing week so far ☺️
We believe in always taking care of ones eyes in the best way possible. If you're wondering whether you should take your child for a comprehensive eye exam, see below our top 3 reasons why:
1. Children are spending more time on tablets and phones which means their visual stress is quite high. An Optometrist can detect the early signs of vision problems, and Myopia management techniques to slow down its progression before it worsens in adulthood.
2. Your child might have hidden vision issues. If there are problems with eye tracking, teaming (which is how the eyes work together), and focusing (where reading comes with difficulty), causing headaches and double vision, this is a good reason to do a comprehensive check at your Optometrist.
3. Early detection of lazy eye (Amblyopia) or crossed eyes (Strabismus) are much easier to treat when caught early, ideally before the age 7. If left untreated, the brain may begin to ignore the signals from one eye, leading to permanent vision loss in that eye.
Don’t wait for your child to complain about blurry vision, book a comprehensive exam with your Optometrist to give your child the best view of the world ☺️
