In fact, EIGHTY PERCENT OF WHAT STUDENTS LEARN IS THROUGH VISION.  And yet, 86 percent of all school-age children have not had a complete eye examination – Ever!

The American Optometric Association encourages parents to have their children’s eyes examined three times prior to starting school: at 6 months, 3 years and before starting kindergarten.

These exams monitor eye development and may prevent conditions that may become irreversible in later years, such as amblyopia or ‘lazy eye.’
