Pencils, check. Notebooks, check. Eye exam, check. 👀

Good vision is crucial for a child's success, but many vision problems show no symptoms and can be mistaken for learning or behavioural issues.

Regular eye exams with an optometrist can catch these issues early, helping your child learn, focus, and thrive with confidence. 🍎

Make eye health part of your family’s routine - Alberta Health even provides partial coverage for annual eye exams for children under 19.
