Clear vision allows children to understand the world around them. Vision is a major part of how children learn and how they participate in a classroom environment. In fact, up to 80% of learning is visual and impaired vision can interfere with a child’s ability to thrive in school. According to the Alberta Association of Optometrists (AAO), 25% of children in Alberta start grade one with an undiagnosed vision or eye health condition. The Eye See… Eye Learn™ program focuses on ensuring every child in Alberta has the opportunity to see clearly and learn with unbridled vision. Bower Eye Care proudly participates in the effort to provide free eyeglasses for every eligible kindergarten student in the province.
Bower Eye Care Is Helping Every Child Reach Their Full Potential
We are proud partners in the AAO Eye See… Eye Learn™ initiative. When you call to book your child’s eye exam, simply explain that you want to participate in the Eye See… Eye Learn™ program and we will take care of the rest. Here is what you and your child can expect on your journey to clear and healthy vision:
- Book Your Exam: Visit our locations in Red Deer or Calgary for your Children’s Eye Exam. Every aspect of your child’s eye health including eye coordination, depth perception, and colour vision will be assessed. Our optometrists will then evaluate your child’s vision to determine impairment and the proper prescription. This eye exam and every exam until age 18 is covered by your Alberta Health Care Insurance Plan (AHCIP).
- Select An Available Frame: With our professional guidance, you and your child can browse through available options for frames that fit well and highlight your child’s unique and personal style.
- Pick Up And Follow Up: When your child’s eyeglasses are ready we will ensure the prescription is correct and that your child’s eyeglasses fit properly. We encourage you to book a follow-up appointment after one month so that our team can ensure your child is adapting to life with eyeglasses and to make any adjustments to fit or prescription if needed.
And that’s it. It is really very simple to give your child the gift of foundational eye health and the gift of clear vision today and for a lifetime.
