School’s Coming… Time for a San Jose Eye Exam

It's that time of year again, when the days start getting shorter, the weather a bit cooler, and kids across the country head back to the classroom. Now's the time to check out your children's eyesight . Proper vision is critical to the cognitive process and a child's accomplishments in the classroom. There are many tasks that demand optical skills, such as reading, writing and computer assignments, which students are expected to perform everyday. Yet, studies prove that 86 percent of children return to the school year without ever having a vision screening.

Many of the problems a child struggles with in the classroom may come from vision difficulties. The number of students who have undiagnosed vision problems is exceedingly high. Reports prove that 60 percent of children classified as "problem learners" really have undiagnosed vision problems. You can avoid childhood trauma if you take a proactive role in ensuring your child is seeing properly.

Don't wait until your child enters kindergarten for his first comprehensive eye check-up. Pediatricians should perform a dilated eye exam to identify any serious eye problems by the first two months of life. Every child should have a comprehensive eye check-up by three years, as early intervention can make a difference. Additionally as a parent, it's important to see whether your child is reading sufficiently. In general, most kindergarteners enjoy looking at books and attempt to read. Children that avoid books or reading may have a vision problem. Before you jump to any conclusions, it's a good idea to get a vision check-up. For a pediatric eye exam in San Jose, CA, call us to schedule an appointment.

Take note that the earlier a vision impairment is detected and treated, the greater the chances for successful treatment. And eyesight is a crucial component for school. If a child's vision is flawed, he will have a much harder time in the classroom. At the same time new technological advances in the classroom, such as the use of interactive SMARTboards, can also potentially make less obvious vision problems worse. Without healthy eyesight, children may suffer not only at school, but also mentally, physically and emotionally. Before school starts this year, make sure your child's vision is on par! Call us to book a San Jose, CA eye exam today.
