Whether heading back to school means learning from home or in a classroom, students of all ages should still get an annual eye exam. Much of learning is visual, which is why vision issues can impact learning outcomes. Often, kids may not recognize they aren’t seeing as clearly as they should, so it’s important to schedule an eye exam even when there aren’t noticeable symptoms of vision issues.
