Back to School.

Back to school is a busy time of year for most parents and very often one of the most important things can get overlooked - getting your child’s eyes tested. Good vision is vital for any child going to school. Without it everyday tasks like reading the board, using computer screens and doing homework can become difficult and ultimately lead to under-performance. 

Joseph Lee, owner and optometrist at Ratoath Eyecare opticians in county Meath recently carried out vision screening in a number of schools. He said “I found that in primary schools almost 30% of children had an undetected visual issue. This ranged from a mild prescription through to some kids who had no useful vision in one eye and required immediate treatment.”

Squint (a turning of the eye) is usually obvious to parents, teachers and health-care workers but there are other problems that may go unnoticed. A lazy eye, short-sightedness and long-sightedness are all common problems that if undetected can lead to blurry vision, headaches and poor concentration. An annual eye test will spot these issues and resolve them before they cause problems. 

If your child is having vision problems, headaches or if there is a family history of eye conditions make sure to get them checked out. Call us on 01 689 5566 to make an appointment. HSE vouchers for all areas are accepted and can be used towards the cost of glasses and lenses

Parents should have enough time to take their children to the doctor every week. To keep their eyes awake.
