👀 School Vision Screenings vs. Full Eye Exams for Kids 👀
Many parents ask if a school vision screening is enough — and it’s a great question!
📚 School Vision Screenings:
-Check how well your child sees letters at a distance
-Are quick pass/fail tests
-Do not check eye health or how the eyes work together
-Can miss issues like eye strain, focusing problems, or depth perception concerns
🩺 A Comprehensive Eye Exam at Normandy Optical:
-Checks vision AND eye health
-Evaluates focusing, eye coordination, and tracking (important for reading & learning)
-Can detect issues that screenings often miss — even if your child passed at school
-Helps identify problems early, before they affect school performance or cause headaches, eye fatigue, or frustration
👧👦 Why regular eye exams are important for kids:
-Kids don’t always realize or say when they can’t see clearly
-Vision can change quickly as they grow
-Clear vision supports learning, confidence, sports, and everyday activities
👓 If glasses are needed, we make the experience fun:
-Kids choose frames they love
-Our team ensures a comfortable, secure fit
-We teach kids and parents how to properly wear and care for glasses
Even if your child passed their school screening, a full eye exam is the best way to make sure their eyes are healthy and developing properly.
