Our focus is on each individual and their particular needs, goals
and capabilities.
Eye Safety for Kids
Vision problems affect one in four school-aged children. If left untreated, these problems can cause permanent vision loss and delay development. Your child can have vision problems without being aware of it, so it is important to incluede vision screenings as part of regular pediatric health and wellness examps, particularly if your family has a history of vision problems.
SightConnection has a Mini-LED Desk Lamp that will be great for those long nights of studying!
