When it is time for children to get back to school, there is a lot to do before the school year starts. One of these things to do is to make sure that your child has an updated prescription for their glasses. An updated prescription ensures that your child sees clearly all year round. If you live in or around Ocala, contact our eye doctors at Ritz and Johnson today to schedule an appointment.

Seeing Better

If you have noticed that your child is squinting or rubbing their eyes a lot, there may be a vision problem that needs to be corrected. Starting school with an old prescription, or no prescription at all, can lead to a lot of frustration for your child. It can lead to reduced enjoyment in school as well as problems with mood. Not being able to see properly can cause a lot of problems that make school complicated. Having vision problems can even cause issues with friends as they do not understand why your child does not see what they do.

Better Grades

When your child gets an updated prescription and new glasses for the year, your child may receive better grades than before. Falling grades is a symptom of a vision problem. When this problem is corrected, you can expect them to go back up. Your child will be able to see the board clearly and see what the teacher is doing at the front of the class.

Ready to Read

School is all about reading and your child needs to be able to read the school books as well as the items that are on the wall and in the hallways. Without being able to clearly see what is going on, your child may miss announcements or even break a rule because they did not see a notice.
