The Importance of Early, Poor-Vision Detection

A Positive Impact. A Positive Change.

Whether you are an educator or parent within the community, you can help drive deeper vision health conversations by simply being aware of the following vision health facts:

  • The importance of early, poor-vision detection:
    • Young eyes change quickly, and prompt treatment is needed in order to prevent, correct, or stabilize any vision issue.
    • Any undetected vision issue can compromise not only a child’s academic success and joy of learning but also his social confidence.
    • 80% of what children learn is visual and solid vision is imperative to keeping up in the classroom and on the playground.
  • Vision problems among children often go undiagnosed and uncorrected.
    • One in four school-age children has a vision problem. And yet, two-thirds of our children do not receive an eye exam by an eye doctor before they begin school.
    • Many common eye conditions that affect reading and learning go undetected by the pediatrician’s vision screenings.
  • Prioritize your child’s comprehensive eye exam.
    • Young eyes develop rapidly. A child without any risk factors should be first examined by a pediatric (or qualified) optometrist or ophthalmologist between 6 and 12 months of age, around age 3, before first grade, and every two years afterward unless a vision problem has been detected.

Vision Fact Sources include: Prevent Blindness America, American Association for Pediatric Ophthalmology and Strabismus, The National Eye Institute, The Children’s Eye Foundation. This website nor the Fraydo the Dragon book is not intended as a substitute for the medical advice of your child’s doctor. The reader should regularly consult a pediatrician in matters relating to his/her child’s health and particularly with respect to any symptoms that may require diagnosis or medical attention.
