  • 1 in 4 school-aged children has a vision problem that can interfere with learning.

  • Many serious visual issues — such as eye teaming, tracking, or focusing problems — can’t be caught during school screenings.

  • The American Optometric Association warns that untreated vision problems can significantly impact reading, attention, and overall classroom performance.
