It's estimated that 80% of learning is accomplished through the eyes. That, coupled with the fact that school-age children are in their most important learning years, dramatizes the importance of your child's good vision. Too often children's eye disorders go undetected through school and continue on into later life. Most school vision screening programs rely on the traditional eye charts, a test that's not always reliable and may not detect serious visual defects. That's why our comprehensive eye exams include testing of all the following visual skills
 Acuity-Near: visual acuity for reading distance.
Acuity-Distance: visual acuity (sharpness, clearness) at 20 feet.
Focusing Skills: the ability to maintain clear vision at varying distance.
Eye Tracking and Fixation: the ability to accurately follow an object.
Binocular Fusion: the ability to use both eyes together.
Stereopis: binocular depth perception.
Convergence: the ability of the eyes to aim and work as a team.
Color Vision: the ability to differentiate colors.
Reversal Frequency: confusing or switching letters or words.
Visual Memory: the ability to store and retrieve visual information.
Form Discrimination: matching same shapes, sizes, colors, etc.
Motor Integration: combining visual input with other senses.
We recommend eye health exams for children as young as age 3, or earlier, if you notice any problems. Better sooner than later to ensure the lifelong good vision of your children.
