Student success matters, and you want to ensure that your child is equipped to do well in school. As a parent, you may be wondering if your child's struggles with academic performance could be attributed to poor eyesight. You may have considered getting your child eyeglasses, but are unsure if they would actually make a difference in their grades. 

Eye injuries can happen at any time, which isn’t the most helpful when trying to help and teach your child to be safe while still letting them enjoy fun, independent play. We all know there are tremendous benefits of sports, including improving our fitness, building strength, boosting confidence, and working hard as an individual or team. 

Life is full of choices, and one choice those with visual impairment can make is to wear prescription contact lenses instead of traditional glasses. 

The vast majority of eye injuries across all ages come from accidents that occur during sports or other physical activities. For children, this is especially true with that activity, including all forms of physical play. But younger children are at increased risk of injuries from toys, home supplies, furniture, and playground equipment as well.
