Regular eye exams are recommended for everyone at least once a year. Our vision naturally changes with age, which makes regular eye exams crucial. 95% of vision problems in kids can be fixed if detected early. Here are some signs your child may be experiencing vision impairment:

•  Loses place while reading 
• Avoids tasks that require good vision
• Frequent squinting or eye- rubbing while reading or watching television
• Repeated shutting or covering of one eye
