- Much of a child’s learning is visual. How well can your child see? If you don’t know, it’s time for a comprehensive eye exam.

- Undetected and untreated vision problems can elicit some of the very same signs and symptoms commonly attributed to attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder. A yearly comprehensive eye exam can help make the right diagnosis for your child’s needs.
