Children with poor vision face a significant disadvantage in school compared to their classmates. Good vision is vital for their development and learning.
Preschoolers depend on their vision to learn tasks that will prepare them for school. School-aged children depend on their vision for as much as 80 percent of learning.* When their vision isn't functioning properly, education, personal development and participation in sports can suffer.
During these physical growth years if a child is developing myopia, or nearsightedness, he or she might experience a rapid change in prescription and resulting visual acuity. If a child has crossed eyes or a lazy eye, treatment needs to begin at the earliest stage possible to ensure the child has the visual stimulus needed to develop and succeed.
