School screenings and physical exams are not enough in determining the vision needs of a child. Vision affects their safety, learning, behavior, and comfort. A child cannot tell you they don't see well because they do not know what they should be seeing. Babies may have vision problems that slows their learning and safety. We examine infants!! Do not neglect the young children in your life by waiting for a school screening. It is not enough!! Refer to previous information on children' vision.
