Seeing the words is only part of the story. 👀

A child can have visual tracking or visual perceptual problems and still pass a basic vision screening. They may see 20/20, but struggle to smoothly follow words across a page, keep their place while reading, or make sense of what they see.

These challenges can make reading and learning harder than they need to be.
This Children’s Eye Health & Safety Month, remember: a vision screening checks some aspects of vision—but a comprehensive eye exam looks much deeper.

Because seeing clearly and processing what you see are two different things.

When your child has Binocular Vision Dysfunction (BVD), the problem may not be whether they can see the letters—it’s how their eyes work together to see them.

A child with BVD may experience double vision, blurred or shifting words, headaches, eye strain, or difficulty reading, yet still pass a basic vision screening.

That’s why a screening isn’t the same as a comprehensive eye exam. This Children’s Eye Health & Safety Month, make sure your child’s eyes are not only seeing clearly, but working together the way they should. 👀

Because 20/20 vision doesn’t tell the whole story.

Passing a vision screening doesn’t always mean seeing well.

A child can pass a basic screening while experiencing double vision, difficulty focusing, or other vision problems that can affect reading and learning.

This Children’s Eye Health & Safety Month, remember: vision screenings are a starting point - not a substitute for a comprehensive eye exam.

Because your child deserves to see more than just the 20/20 line.
