BACK TO SCHOOL EYE EXAMS

It is vital that children get routine eye exams, especially before school starts. If your child has poor vision and doesn’t have the correct eyewear, it will be harder to learn and pay attention in school. At Dr. Wacasey, Therapeutic Optometrist in Longview, TX, we provide students’ eye exams. With routine eye care, your child will be able to keep up in school. Our optometrist will ensure that your child’s eye health and vision are at their best.
 

How Poor Vision Can Impact Education

If you happen to wear glasses yourself, then you may know how hard it is to read without the proper eye care and glasses. For students who are still learning how to read, poor glasses can make reading far more difficult. If students struggle with a subject, they may become dejected and intimidated by the subject.
Once students fall behind, it’s often difficult for them to catch up. A few weeks of poor vision could lead to an entire school year of struggles. That’s why children’s eye exams are so vital. Glasses now could help your kids succeed tomorrow.
 

What to Expect

When you visit us, our eye doctor, Dr. Wacasey, will perform an eye and vision exam. In children, we also look at eye funcitioning, like eye tracking and teaming. If our optometrist determines that your child has a refractive error, we will discuss eyewear options. Most younger children wear glasses, as they are easier.
 

If your child already has eyewear, it is still important to get an exam. Children’s eyes are still growing and developing, so the prescription may be out of date. Without the proper prescription, your child’s eyes will begin to hurt. Dr. Wacasey will update the prescription and look for any other changes in your child’s eyes.
