Back to School Glasses

When summer ends, and it is time for your kids to go back to school, there are several things that you need to do to get them ready. Your children will need new school clothes and shoes, a new backpack, school supplies, and a haircut. If your child wears glasses, you should also schedule an appointment with Dr. Jay Rigney so they can be fitted for a pair of back-to-school glasses.

Vision Changes Occur Gradually

Your child might believe that they can see well with their existing glasses when they actually cannot. Vision changes can occur so gradually that your child might not realize that their vision has changed. In many cases, it isn't until they get a new prescription that they realize that they weren't able to see as clearly as they thought.

Poor Vision Can Impact Learning

If your child's vision isn't as clear as it could be, they will have trouble seeing the board and seeing printed words. These issues can impact their learning, causing them to struggle in school. It is best to have your child's vision tested before school starts so you can ensure their success.

Virtual and Digital Learning 

These days, many schools are doing virtual learning, requiring your child to sit in front of the computer for hours. If your child's vision has changed, focusing on the computer all day can cause eyestrain and headaches. Also, the glare from the computer can cause vision problems. The right pair of glasses can help your child avoid these issues and ensure your child continues to learn at a high level.
