Screening For Vision Problems
“If you can catch certain eye conditions and diseases early, in the course of their lives, you can really change children’s lives,” Diane Adamczyk, O.D. said in a press release, on the AOA’s site. “If a child isn’t functioning well visually, it can impact his or her performance in school and future life.”
The association recommends all children receive an annual in-person eye exam. “What becomes critically important in children is the impact eye care and vision health can have on how well they function in their lives,” Dr. Adamczyk, explained.
