Teenagers are still developing so it’s very important that they receive proper eye care to ensure the best possible vision heading into adulthood. Teens should have proper vision testing during the school years to catch potential issues such as astigmatism, convergence insufficiency, and other binocular vision issues that may cause more problems as they get older. Observant teachers may alert parents to unachieved learning and behavioural milestones that might have a vision basis. Encourage your teens to wear sunglasses with UV protection and to protect their eyes when playing sports or using tools and equipment.
