After almost losing sight in my right eye when I was 13 as the result of a corneal ulcer that wasn’t responding to treatment, I always vowed to stay on top of my child’s visual health right from birth. Are you aware that:

An estimated 200,000 children are born each year with visual deficits.
According to the American Optometric Association (AOA), vision disorders are the number one childhood handicap.
Only 21 percent of children in the United States have their vision screened before kindergarten.
72 percent of children with vision deficits go undetected until after the window for effective treatment expires.
More than one in 50 children have amblyopia, a serious vision disorder, which can lead to blindness in one eye.
Amblyopia is poor vision in an eye that otherwise appears normal. It occurs when the brain does not recognize the sight from that eye. It is very difficult to detect Amblyopia.
3.8 million adults are legally blind in one eye or visually incapacitated due to amblyopia.

Thanks to the Enfant™ Pediatric VEP Vision Testing System, detecting vision problems in small children is now easier than ever. The test is non-invasive and recommended for children ages 6 months and up in order to detect visual deficits such as strabismus, optic nerve disorders, and severe refractive errors, which could lead to amblyopia.

If you are concerned about your child’s vision, start here by taking a free online assessment and then visit Enfantvision.com to learn more.

    Wow, I had no idea it was that bad. In our state, we're required to have children tested before Kindergarten. Even though we will be homeschooling, we just had our 5 year old's full ophthalmologist appointment a few weeks ago. MAN was it expensive (we don't have insurance for her), but well worth it to know that all is okay.

    Have a great week!
