STORY SUMMARY: October is Children's Vision Month and Doctors of Optometry Canada are reminding parents to take their children for a yearly eye exam. At school, socially and in play, vision problems can prevent children from reaching their full potential. With 80 per cent of learning based on vision, an eye exam from a Doctor of Optometry is the best way to help ensure children achieve optimal learning and development, now and in the future.
SCRIPT: 01 (EYE EXAMS FOR CHILDREN)
TORONTO. X—10s. Jeff Goodhew - Co-chair of the Canadian Association of Optometrist's National Public Education Committee explains how an eye exam can make a real difference in a child's education.
Jeff Goodhew quote: A comprehensive eye exam from a Doctor of Optometry can make a real difference in how well a child performs at school - much more so than a simple sight test or school vision screening.
TAG: By ensuring your child has healthy vision, you are helping enable them to play, learn, socialize and fully experience everything that life has to offer.
02 (HEALTHY VISION IN CHILDREN)
TORONTO. X—19s Doctor of Optometry Jeff Goodhew - explains how several visual skills are needed to see and understand clearly.
Jeff Goodhew quote: For school-age children, several different visual skills must work together so they can see and understand clearly. By ensuring your child has healthy eyes and good vision, you are helping enable them to play, learn, socialize and fully experience everything that life has to offer.
TAG: One-in-four school-age children has a vision problem and many of these problems have no obvious symptoms.
03 (PARENTS UNAWARE OF CHILDREN'S VISION PROBLEMS)
TORONTO. X—13s. Jeff Goodhew says that most parents aren't aware of their children's vision problems.
Jeff Goodhew quote: Research tells us that most parents mistakenly believe that they would know if their child had a vision problem. But the truth is, with no easy-to-detect symptoms, it is impossible to know without an eye exam.
Tag: Booking an eye exam with a Doctor of Optometry is the best way to ensure your child sees well.
