Back To School Vision Care

Back to School Vision Care From Your Greenville Optometrist

Even if you don't need prescription eye glasses, an annual eye exam is always a must. Kids of any age, but especially the youngest ones, are avid learners and cannot do their best without excellent eyesight. Sharp eyesight helps children become more interested in and involved with learning and helps them to get the most out of their school experience in general.

Beyond academics, proper eye care also helps kids see well on the sports field so they can pursue their passions safely, get proper exercise and enjoy learning about teamwork. Our Greenville eye doctors, along with all optometrists in the nation, recommend an annual eye exam for everyone--and back-to-school time is a natural occasion for an eye exam reminder. 

Back to School Vision Screenings and Eye Testing

School children (and even many adults) are often unaware they have a vision problem early on—that’s why an annual exam is necessary for everyone. An annual eye examination helps your optometrist to catch any eye health or vision problems early. This is when vision problems are easiest to treat and treatments are most successful. Your optometrist is there to make sure you always have the best possible vision.

If your child receives a vision screening at school, that cannot replace a visit to our optometrist in Greenville. Our eye examinations are comprehensive and involve more than traditional eye chart (or visual acuity) testing. Our eye doctors check for all kinds of eye health and vision problems. We conduct tests for depth perception, color blindness, and eye tracking (ocular motility or the ability to follow an object with the eyes), eye alignment (teaming) and more.  

Annual vision exams often discover the following issues:

  • Nearsightedness (myopia)
  • Farsightedness (hyperopia)
  • Astigmatism
  • Strabismus (misaligned eyes)
  • Amblyopia (lazy eye)
  • And more

Signs of Poor Vision in Children

If you notice these symptoms, your child may have undiagnosed vision problems and may need vision correction:

  • Problems with reading 
  • Trouble finishing homework or working very slowly
  • Difficulty concentrating on up-close tasks or reading  
  • Rubbing the eyes often
  • Squinting
  • Blinking frequently
  • Headaches
  • Habit of covering one eye
