It is very important to have your child’s vision checked prior to commencing school, this allows the child to start school with their best foot (eye, ha) forward. Having blurred vision can cause your child to struggle with reading or even seeing the board in class. Vision is not only just what your child can see, it is important to ensure that their focusing ability and the eyes ability to talk to one another is also accurate. If these aspects of your child’s vision aren’t accurate, then attention span and ability to maintain focus reading/writing can be reduced.
