Cleveland Optical provides a full range of paediatric eye care services for infants, school-age children, and those with special needs.
According to experts, 80% of learning is visual, which means that if your child is having difficulty seeing clearly, his or her learning can be affected. This also goes for infants who develop and learn about the world around them through their sense of sight. To ensure that your children have the visual resources they need to grow and develop normally, their eyes and vision should be checked by an eye doctor at certain stages of their development.
Why Early Eye Exams Are So Important for Children
Good vision is essential to your child’s development as it is critical for learning in the classroom, participating in sports, and interacting with others.
