1 in 4 children have a vision problem.

In South Australia, only 10% of children receive an annual eye exam. However, it’s crucial to note that 80% of learning is visual. Hence, early detection and treatment of visual impairments are essential for providing children with the best possible start in their educational journey. Teachers play a pivotal role in this process as they are often the first to notice visual difficulties among their students in the classroom.

These difficulties may manifest as evident signs like frequent eye rubbing, letter reversals, orientation confusion, irregular writing spacing, reading delays, and learning difficulties.
