A new study out finds that preschoolers who wear glasses as needed, have better scores on their eye-hand coordination tests. Seems like common sense to me. If you can’t see an object you’re going to have a difficult time grabbing for it! However, this particular study raises a good issue and that is to start testing your baby’s vision as early as 6 months. There’s a public health program that provides free baby vision screening during the first 12 months of your baby’s life called Infant See. Visit InfantSee.com to find a participating Optometrist in your area. If your child is older than 12 months and has not yet had a vision test, schedule one now. Detecting vision problems early and correcting any problems will go a long way towards your preschooler’s education and wellness.
