As August rolls in and backpacks come out, there's one important back-to-school essential that often gets overlooked: your child’s eye health. At iSeeU Optometry, we believe every child deserves a strong start to the school year—beginning with clear, comfortable vision.
đź‘€ Why Eye Exams Matter for Students
Did you know that 80% of learning is visual? Children rely on their eyesight to read, write, use digital devices, and see the board in class. If a child is struggling to see clearly, it can affect their:
-
Academic performance
-
Attention span
-
Confidence and behavior
Unfortunately, many kids don’t realize they have a vision problem—they think what they see is normal. That’s why routine eye exams are essential, even if your child doesn’t complain of any issues.
🔍 Signs Your Child May Need an Eye Exam
Keep an eye out for these common signs of vision problems:
-
Squinting to see far or near
-
Frequent headaches
-
Holding books, tablets, or phones too close
-
Covering one eye while reading
-
Trouble focusing or complaints about "tired eyes"
-
Falling behind in school or avoiding reading
If your child shows any of these symptoms, it’s time to schedule an eye exam.
