South Florida experts say “Standard school-provided
screenings are not enough to ensure students can read that smartboard or tablet”.
According to the American
Optometric Association, nearly 25 percent of school-age children have
vision problems and are not receiving adequate professional eye and vision
care. Only about one-third of all children have an eye examination or vision
screening prior to entering school.
Dr.
James Hagen, an optometrist in Kendall said “The reason that this
generation sees so poorly is that they are the first generation born into
technology where their whole life they’ve had computers, iPads and iPhones,”. Myopia,
also known as nearsightedness, is a vision condition in which close objects are
seen clearly, but objects farther away appear blurred.
