THE EYES ARE THE WINDOW TO THE SOUL.
People often call eyes the windows to the soul. … In fact, the eyes do provide lots of information about another person’s emotional state and overall physical health.
Our whole family just went for an eye check up. Our eyes were last checked 3 years ago. Before it was only $75 for an adult and now its $85. Kids eye exam is fully covered by Alberta Health Care between the age of 0 to 19.
It is very important that our eyes got a regular check up from eye care professionals. But sadly we don’t go for a check up until we feel that something is wrong with our vision. And we don’t bring our kids too until they complained that something is painful or that they feel something unusual.
CHILD EYE EXAMINATION
In Alberta 80% of children begin school without a comprehensive eye exam,
but one of the major factors in limiting a child’s ability to learn and succeed is vision problems . They said that 80% of our kids learn through visual for the first 12 years of their life, And good grades comes with a good vision.
Sometimes kids will not complain because they don’t know what normal vision look like.
My son before always complained of having headache at school and He said that he’s chair is too close to the smart board. It makes him dizzy. So we requested the teacher to let him sit in the very back row of the class.
Be sure to have your child eyes examined by an eye doctor if he performs poorly at school or exhibits a reading or learning disability.
