Eye health is an important part of a child’s development. Eighty percent of a child’s learning is visual. Unfortunately many children are underserved when it comes to professional vision care. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention found that only 17% of children of families of 4 earning almost $50,000 a year have seen an eye care provider. So over 80% have never seen an eye doctor. Even more concerning, vision
problems are common among children. A study by the University of Alabama School of Optometry found that 25% of children ages 5 to 17 have a vision problem. In fact, most children have never had a comprehensive eye exam. Convenience, financial resources, and negligence are common reasons for a lack of vision care. Some parents rely solely on school screenings which cannot detect some vision problems.
OnSight can help. With our OnSight Vision Clinic we bring the doctor to the child. With our professional, convenient, and affordable vision clinic; seeing an Eye MD has never been easier. When you receive our letter and consent form from the
school, just read it, fill out the information, sign the form, and return it to school. That is all it takes. No long wait for an appointment, no drive to the doctor’s office, no long wait in the waiting room filling out forms. And No Bill, Ever.
If we are currently serving your school, we will return each year. Just fill out the consent form when the school distributes it and return it to school. If we are not currently coming to your
school, ask your school nurse or superintendent to contact us to see if your school might qualify for our OnSight Vision Clinic.
