Vision problems can impact your kid’s learning and development. That’s because vision skills such as using information gathered from sight don’t come naturally to children—they have to be acquired through stimulation. 

Compounding the problem is the fact vision problems are quite common. In fact, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, they’re the single most widespread disabling condition that affects American kids. It’s estimated that by the time American children start school, roughly 25% of them will experience some form of vision problem.
