IMPORTANCE OF EYE EXAMS
Did you know that 80 % of your child ’ s learning is based on vision ?
Visual development is an active process that begins in the womb and continues throughout life . At birth your infant has all of the necessary ocular structure , but their eye is still immature in development , seeing only patterns of light and dark . Their vision rapidly improves over the first few months of life and then gradually improves to adult-like clarity at about the age of three . Colour vision becomes more developed around the third month and by six months they are able to control their eye movements and develop hand-eye coordination .
Problems with eye health , alignment or clarity can cause serious problems , even blindness , if not corrected during the critical first years of life . It is important for all children to have a comprehensive examination at six months , one year and every year thereafter to ensure the best visual development .
Do not make the mistake of thinking that your child is too young or that you can wait until complaints arise . Children often do not complain because they accept their eye ailments as normal . Although schools may conduct vision screenings , they are not comprehensive . Your optometrist will ensure that their eyes are seeing clearly , that they are aligned properly and that they are healthy inside and out . The BC Medical Services Plan provides benefits for children ’ s optometric eye exams .
