When should my child have an
exam?
The See To Learn program was developed as a way to assess
the vision for 3 year olds. At the age of 3 most children
are able to respond to simple testing procedures, but they have no
way to tell you if they have a vision problem. They assume
everyone sees the way they do.
The assessment will determine if the child is near-sighted,
far-sighted or has astigmatism. The doctor will be able to
determine if both eyes ar working together properly.
See To Learn is a non-traumatic, often first visit, to the eye
doctor for your 3 year old. The child gets an introduction
to eye care in a pleasant way with stickers, a pizza coupon and
coloring sheets. The parents receive a thorough explanation
of the findings of the exam.
See To Learn assures that your 3 year old is seeing
properly. It is also a great preparatioin for their full
vision examination at age 5.
Since beginning with See to Learn in August 1997, our doctors
have seen over 500 three year olds. See to Learn is offered
4 times each year in Norfolk. While the large majority of
children pass the assessment with no problem, it is vitally
important to reach the small percentage who do not pass.
There is NO CHARGE for the See to Learn visit. All you
need to do is call (402) 371-8230 for an appointment.
