EXCITING NEWS! Vision Screening can now be done on your little ones from as young as 6 months old. Do you know that 1 in 5 children aged 4 years old have undetected refractive (vision) problems which may lead to Amblyopia (also known as lazy eye) - an early childhood condition where a child's eyesight in one eye does not develop as it should. The eye with affected sight (Amblyopia) will not receive clear images; the brain won't receive clear data and will eventually start to ignore it. In severe cases this can lead to complete blindness in the affected eye. Early detection, particularly before the age of 6 or 7 is essential, but the younger the child is, the easier it is to correct.
