Back to school means giving your child the best chance at a successful year in the classroom. Healthy vision at school allows your child to have the confidence to participate and interact with other students about their learning objectives. Here’s a few reasons why it’s helpful to get your annual eye exam when school starts:
1. Setting a Good Example For Eye Health
Regular eye exams are of the utmost importance for ensuring that your child’s eyes are healthy. Not only can it help you to give you peace of mind, but the visits to the optometrist will also help to set a good example for your children by encouraging them to be more careful of the way they look after their eyes and reminding them of the importance of eye care for school.
2. Building Eye Care Habits
Eye care should be talked about from a young age so that they can start cultivating good habits early, especially if your family has a history of vision problems. Treehouse Eyes doctors create a specialized treatment plan for your child based on their eye exam. This allows your child to learn healthy habits for their specific eye health needs.
3. Education For Their Future
A healthy diet is also crucial in terms of maintaining eye care. Besides that, it can also help to build up their immune system and grow strong and healthy. It is important to educate your children on the necessity of vegetables, nuts, and oily fish in boosting eye health. This way they will be more cognizant of healthy snacks you pack for school.
Overall, getting your child’s eyes examined before school not only ensures their eye health but it is also a great teaching moment to provide them the information they need to take care of their eyes.
