WHY SCREENING MATTERS
One in Five Children May Have an Undetected Vision Problem
Good vision is essential for learning, development and confidence.

Children rarely complain about poor eyesight because they often believe that everyone sees the world the same way they do.

Vision problems can impact:
  • Reading and writing
  • Learning outcomes
  • Attention and concentration
  • Sporting activities
  • Confidence and social interaction

Early detection can make a significant difference in a child's life.
