EYEMED FOR YOUR KIDS

It’s back to school season! 

Eye exams are essential for your employees – and their kids. Did you know 80% of a child’s learning comes from their eyes? Children often don’t know how to communicate their vision needs, and what look like behavioral challenges or learning disabilities may even be the result of inability to see in class.  That’s why it’s so important to know the signs of vision problems and start regular eye exams early.  

Here are some resources to share with your employees on keeping their children’s eyes safe & healthy:
