Vision problems can significantly impact a child's development and learning. According to the Canadian Association of Optometrists, approximately 25% of school-aged children have vision issues that can go unnoticed without proper eye exams.


Early eye exams are vital for detecting conditions such as amblyopia (lazy eye) and strabismus (crossed eyes), which can be treated effectively if caught early. These exams ensure that children have the visual skills necessary for reading, writing, and overall learning.

Early detection and treatment can help children perform better in school and other activities.


Ensure your child's eye health by scheduling regular comprehensive eye exams, starting before they enter school.
