Back-to-School: Do Your Children Need an Eye Exam?

Back-to-School: Do Your Children Need an Eye Exam?Back to school eye exams for kids at naples eye physicians florida

For students across the country, summer vacation is beginning to wind down and, before we know it, it'll be time for your children to head back to school. As part of your back-to-school routine, you make sure to send your children in for their annual physicals, but what about eye exams?

Here at Naples Eye Physicians, we know that regular eye exams for children can directly affect their performance at school, so there's never a better time to schedule an exam than before the new academic year begins.

The Importance of Regular Eye Exams

There are many reasons as to why regular eye exams are recommended for your school-aged children. For starters, a child's eyes develop a great deal during their younger years, so having regular eye examinations helps to ensure that everything is developing as it should and that your child's ocular health is strong.

Furthermore, because your child's vision quality can have a major impact on his or her reading and learning skills in the classroom, staying up-to-date on your child's corrective lens prescription is a must. For example, just because your child didn't need corrective lenses last school year doesn't mean he or she won't need them for this year.

Tips for Your Child's Eye Exam

When planning to schedule an eye exam for your child, it's important to find eye doctors who specialize in pediatric eye care. These specialists will be able to not only help your child feel comfortable throughout the exam itself, but will be very knowledgeable on the common signs of problems to look for in eye development. If your child has never had an eye exam done before, it can also be helpful to explain to them what to expect.
