Dont forget to have your childs vision checked before heading back to school! In 1995 President Bill Clinton launched the August Campaign for Children’s Vision and Learning Month by issuing a Presidential Proclamation wherein he states: “Sadly, many American children suffer from vision-related learning disabilities that jeopardize their academic success. But with early intervention, many sight problems can be easily corrected, enabling these students to excel.” Since then, August carries a special message for parents throughout the world. If your child is struggling with reading, it is time to ensure he or she has the visual skills required for academic success. Do you know the signs that indicate your child could have a vision problem? Take the Vision Quiz available on the College of Optometrists in Vision Development (COVD) website, covd.org. Most people don’t realize you need 17 visual skills to succeed in reading, learning, sports, and in life. Seeing “20/20” is just one of those skills. Does your child have all the visual skills required for academic success? “Over the years, local, national, and even international news reporters have featured the life changing improvements that are possible when underlying vision problems have been identified and treated with optometric vision therapy,” states Dr. Ida Chung, COVD President.
