Free Eye Checkup for Kids This June 2025 at LJ Eye Institute, Patiala
At LJ Eye Institute, Patiala, we believe that healthy vision is essential for a child’s growth, learning, and development. Many children suffer from undetected vision problems, which can lead to learning difficulties, poor academic performance, and even permanent vision loss if left untreated.
This June 2025, we are offering FREE EYE CHECKUPS for children (ages 3-16) as part of our “Healthy Vision for Bright Futures” initiative.
Why Should Your Child Get an Eye Checkup?
1. Early Detection of Vision Problems
- 80% of learning is visual – Blurry vision can affect school performance.
- Common issues like myopia (nearsightedness), hyperopia (farsightedness), and astigmatism can be corrected early.
2. Prevent Lazy Eye (Amblyopia)
- If one eye is weaker, the brain may ignore it, leading to permanent vision loss if not treated before age 7-8.
3. Identify Squint (Strabismus)
- Misaligned eyes can cause double vision, poor depth perception, and social anxiety.
4. Screen for Serious Conditions
- Rare but serious issues like childhood cataracts, glaucoma, or retinal disorders can be detected early.
Signs Your Child May Need an Eye Exam
- Squinting or sitting too close to screens
- Frequent eye rubbing or headaches
- Difficulty reading or avoiding books
- Tilting head or covering one eye
- Poor hand-eye coordination (struggling in sports)
Many kids don’t complain because they think blurry vision is normal!
