Children’s Eye Exams Before School Starts

A child’s success in school begins with clear vision! Children may not realize they have vision problems. Annual eye exams can detect:
🔍 Nearsightedness
🔍 Amblyopia (lazy eye)
🔍 Eye movement issues
🔍 Color blindness

Book a back-to-school eye checkup—it could make all the difference!


A PUBLIC ADVISORY FROM THE PHILIPPINE ACADEMY OF OPHTHALMOLOGY: Beware of unproven eye medicine, eye drops, and eye devices that are being peddled as a cure-all or prevention of different eye conditions. Consult your ophthalmologist for the proper care of your eyes.
