As the school bells ring and backpacks get packed, it’s time to make sure your child’s vision is ready for the classroom too. At Millennium Eye Center in Orlando, we believe that clear sight is key to bright futures— and Dr. Lauretta is here to help your family start the school year with confidence.
Why Eye Exams Matter More Than Ever
Did you know that 80% of learning in school is visual? From reading the whiteboard to navigating digital screens, your child’s eyes are working hard every day. Undetected vision issues can lead to:
- Trouble focusing or reading
- Headaches or eye strain
- Behavioral challenges or poor academic performance
A comprehensive eye exam goes beyond a basic screening—it checks for clarity, eye health, and how well the eyes work together.
When Should Kids Get Checked?
Dr. Lauretta recommends:
- First eye exam at age 5 or before starting kindergarten
- Annual checkups every school year
- Immediate visits if your child complains of blurry vision, squinting, or headaches
Vision Tips for a Successful School Year
- Limit screen time and encourage outdoor play
- Ensure proper lighting during homework
- Watch for signs like rubbing eyes or sitting too close to screens
- Keep glasses clean and fitted properly
