With studies showing that around one in three children have some form of visual trouble, it is important to have regular eye tests. Eye problems in children can develop quickly and can result in permanent loss of vision if left unchecked.
The Northern Laser Vision Centre knows that health care is a top priority for parents but is also very expensive. For this reason, Dr Kim Frumar is offering FREE eye health checks for students from Kindergarten through to year 12 as well as a $5 donation per student to the participating school’s latest project or charity.
The Student Sight Solution Program (SSS) is a community initiative that helps encourage eye testing and raise awareness of the importance of early prevention and detection of eye conditions.
These are some of the first students to participate in the program and have received funds for their school – Our Lady of Dolours Primary School. Seven year old Jake and his younger sister Alivia, age 5, both arrived in their school holidays to participate in the eye screening. Tests at the Northern Laser Vision Centre are non-invasive and simple. They involve bright lights, coloured lenses and charts and are conducted by Dr Frumar and highly qualified Orthoptists who specialize in assessing children from birth onwards.
If you have children or grandchildren that haven’t had their eyes tested recently, make a booking with the Northern Laser Vision Centre. Call us on 9410 1011.
