Let Eye See…Eye Learn® help you find the answer.
Has your child had a comprehensive eye exam by an optometrist? Your child’s classroom is visually demanding. As much as 80% of their learning is done through their eyes. Don’t assume you will notice something is wrong with your child’s vision as many conditions are not visible to an untrained eye. As many as 1 in 4 children has a vision problem. Young children often have no form of comparison to know what vision should look like. Children assume everyone sees the world like they do. Children’s eye exams and follow ups are covered by your child’s Ontario Health Card so there is no out of pocket cost. Junior Kindergarten children can also participate in Eye See…Eye Learn® and receive a complimentary pair of glasses if they are needed. To find a local optometrist or learn more about Eye See…Eye Learn, visit www.EyeSeeEyeLearn.ca or call 1-855-424-ESEL.
