Every parent wants their child to be successful in school, yet as many as 25% of children in any classroom have vision problems that keep them from attaining their highest level of success. 4 of 5 classroom hours involve doing near vision work less than arm’s length from a child’s eyes. Many children and adults cannot handle such intense, prolonged near vision work.

In this informative, hands-on workshop, you’ll learn how to assess, test for and distinguish visual conditions that keep some children from doing well in school. There will be time for questions with presenters Dr. Monika Spokas and Dr. Linda Weil, Developmental Optometrists.
