Pre-school vision screening assesses what a child can or can’t see, yet reading and scholastic development requires the eyes working together for effective reading, says optometrist Nicola Boyce of Anstice Optometrists. “Difficulties with close-range focus can lead to fatigue, decreased reading speed, poorer accuracy and comprehension,” she says.
“Having a full assessment of your child’s visual system is recommended for all school age children, particularly those who are having difficulties with their learning,” she adds.
A Schoolvision Examination at Anstice Optometrists includes an assessment of your child’s distance and near vision with detailed analysis of their visual co-ordination and tracking skills, all which can directly influence academic outcome.
