Back-to-School Reminder: Don’t Forget Your Child’s Eye Exam

You’ve probably stocked up on pencils, picked out a backpack, and filled out all the school forms… but have you scheduled your child’s eye exam yet?

Vision plays a major role in learning, attention, and confidence - and it can change from year to year as your child grows. At Bright Eyes Needham, we help make sure your child starts the school year seeing clearly, comfortably, and confidently.
 

Why Eye Exams Matter Even If They “See Fine”

You might assume your child’s vision is fine because they haven’t complained. But here’s the thing: most kids don’t realize when something is off. They may think everyone sees that way.

Undetected vision issues can lead to:

  • Trouble reading or writing

  • Difficulty focusing in class

  • Eye fatigue, headaches, or rubbing their eyes

  • Skipping words, losing their place

  • Avoiding books or homework altogether
     

Many children who struggle in school are simply trying to keep up while seeing through a blurry or inconsistent lens.
 

Vision Is More Than 20/20

At Bright Eyes, we look beyond just whether your child can read the bottom line of the eye chart. We evaluate how their eyes focus, track across a page, work together, and process visual information — all essential for success in the classroom.
 

The Back-to-School Sweet Spot

Summer is the perfect time to check in on your child’s vision:

  • You’ll catch changes before they impact schoolwork

  • There’s time to update glasses or start treatment if needed

  • You’ll avoid the rush once school is in full swing
     

And yes - we make it fun. Our kid-friendly approach helps kids feel relaxed and confident every step of the way.
