Good vision is essential to a child’s learning and reading performance. One in six children aged 5 to 12 have vision performance problems that can lead to learning difficulties. Some of the symptoms that may indicate a child is experiencing vision problems include:

  • Rubbing eyes repeatedly or excessive blinking
  • Dislike and avoidance of close work
  • Holding books closely or Using a finger as a place mark when reading
  • Sitting too close to the television
  • Holding head at an angle or shutting one eye to focus

Vision accounts for 80% of learning. This is why we recommend children should have their eyes examined annually to ensure potential disorders are detected. If you have a current Community Services Card or a High Health User Card and your child is up to 15-Years of age, you may be eligible for the Spectacle Subsidy. Click here for details.
