At what stage is it advisable to take your child for an eye examination?

Now! It is highly recommended to bring your child for regular eye examinations from an early age, in order to detect and treat problems that if left could progress and deteriorate.

Parents, take note!

Good vision plays a vital role in your child's development- in relating to his surroundings, developing hand-eye coordination, fine motor skills, developing reading skills, and much else. Undetected visual problems can lead to developmental problems that could simply be avoided by early assessment and detection.
