School Vision
A child’s ability to read to their full potential at school is an important skill. However, many children do not achieve their full potential and suffer problems at school because of challenges with the vision skills required to read.
School vision addresses these challenges. Specifically, it can improve visual performance when reading by studying how the two eyes work together.
It is very important to look after your eyes from a young age. School vision takes this care one step further; it is not only a health check but means of improving a child’s performance at school.
What is involved?
A school vision assessment, in addition to a full eye exam assesses:
Any issues/difficulties at school
Muscle balance – how the eyes work together
The dominant eye – for better reading skills
Reading clarity
Reading speed
Eye alignment whilst reading
Light sensitivity and colour preference
How does it help?
The result can help with:
Better school performance
Increased reading speed
Increased self-esteem/confidence
Increased concentration
Decreased tiredness and anxiety
A basic school vision assessment is £149 (which includes NHS exam, overlays and rate of reading test). The premium school vision assessment is £249 and includes eye exam, overlays, colourimetry, and use of the Right Eye.
