August is National Children's Vision and Learning Month

 
End of Summer
REMEMBER TO SCHEDULE YOUR CHILD'S EYE EXAM.

 

Summer is almost over!  The children are about ready to go back to school.  We have spent our summer outdoors at picnics, swimming, boating, camping, biking, playing baseball and taking long walks. We have been on vacations with the family to either view local sites or far-away places.  We now look forward to Labor Day
     

Let's first define functional vision. Functional vision is how your brain, eyes and visual pathways interact to allow you to see and interact with an object in space. It includes visual skills such as depth perception, tracking an object as it moves through space, and orienting yourself to other objects.


Typically, parents contact Suburban Eye Care Vision and Learning Center because a functional vision problem is affecting their child's academic success. There may be a problem following a line of text; copying down notes from a smartboard or chalkboard, or paying attention.
 


It can be difficult to tell if he or she has a vision problem or if they just really like sitting close to the television. For this reason Suburban Eye Care highly recommend that recommends that pre-kindergarten exam is a must (don't assume school-offered vision screenings are enough).

Children with learning-related vision problems rarely report symptoms. They assume that everyone sees things the same as they do. The following is a list of signs and symptoms that may indicate that your child has a vision problem
