Did you know that annual eye exams are recommended annually at least once before Kindergarten starts? Eye exams are fully covered for Saskatchewan children unde...r 18 years old by the Government of Saskatchewan. Children should get their vision tested annually because eyes can change so much at this time of their lives. Also, children don't always realize that they are having vision problems because to them, what they see is all they have ever known. It’s important to be on the watch for signs that suggest your child may be struggling to see clearly. These can include complaints of blurry vision, squinting, headaches, turning/tilting head or covering 1 eye, trouble reading and poor eye-hand coordination.

For children, 80% of learning is visual. Ensuring they have the best vision possible can make all the difference in their development. Contact your optometrist to book eye appointments for your family today, or find one at optometrists.sk.ca

Some signs may indicate a child needs glasses. For example, squinting when trying to focus, tilting the head, rubbing the eyes or covering one eye while reading or watching television may be signs of an uncorrected refractive error. An optometrist can use a variety of tests to help determine if there is a need for glasses
