Eye Health and School Success
Many learning struggles in children trace back to an unexpected source: uncorrected vision problems. At Maine Optometry, we’ve seen how dramatically a pair of glasses can improve school performance — and confidence.
Vision and Learning: The Overlooked Link
Reading, writing, math — they all require visual processing. If a child can’t see the board or words on a page, they may struggle to keep up, even if they’re trying their best.
This can lead to:
- Frustration or acting out
- Trouble focusing in class
- Falling behind academically
Aren’t School Screenings Enough?
Not quite. While school screenings are helpful, they are not comprehensive. They usually check only for distance vision and may miss issues like:
- Eye teaming problems
- Focusing difficulties
- Prescription needs
A full eye exam at Maine Optometry covers all of this — and more.
