The Minnesota Optometric Association (MOA) has named August 1, 2012, as Pre-K Eye Exam Day, a statewide effort that is part of its Good Sight for Kindergarten campaign. Participating MOA members will offer one-time, no-cost eye exams to 5 -year olds entering kindergarten either on August 1 or another date and time.
Dr. (s) Hanson & Kempfer at Invision Eye Care in Fergus Falls, participate in the Pre-K Exam Day on Aug 1. Please contact InVision Eye Care at 218-736-5609 to register your pre-kindergarten child, depending on the Pre-K exam schedule.
Why are eye exams important for children entering school?
A vision screening is not a substitute for a comprehensive eye exam, because vision screenings generally test for distance acuity, or what a child can see at a distance of 20 feet. It does not test for eye function disorders and may miss astigmatism or blurred vision. A child who receives a 20/20 vision test result does not necessarily mean he or she can see to read.
August is Children’s Vision Month, a great time to make sure all children are ready for learning with good sight.
