Does your child need glasses for the school year?
Scheduling your child a comprehensive eye exam can be one of the easiest, and most important, activities to sign up for during the new school year!
The experienced team at Focused Eye Care is fully prepared to treat patients of all ages. Make sure your child goes back to school with clear sight of their goals for the year ahead! As a pediatric optometrist, Dr. Catherine Johnson has extensive experience treating kids at any stage. At Focused Eye Care, Dr. Johnson provides pediatric routine eye care services as well as treatment for more specialized pediatric eye conditions.
About 25% of children ages 2-17 years wear glasses, for those already prescribed vision correction treatments, back to school is a great time for their routine eye exam. For those not wearing glasses, the end of summer is the perfect time to double check their vision! Did you know that untreated vision issues in children can not only affect a child’s quality of life, in and out of school, but also their academic performance?
How can you tell that your child may be suffering from an untreated vision problem? Dr. Johnson shares the telltale signs that it may be time to get your child’s eyes checked:
● Experiencing headaches
● Having difficulty concentrating on school work or struggling in school
● Squinting
● Sitting too close to the TV or computer or holding books too closely
● Eye rubbing
If you notice your child experiencing any of these symptoms come the start of the school year, it may be time to schedule a checkup with a pediatric optometrist. While Dr. Johnson is prepared for a busy back to school season, she works year-round to ensure that children’s eye care needs are taken care of.
