Are My Child's Eyes Ready to Go Back to School?

"A clean bill of health from a pediatrician, or even a vision screening, does not mean your child is visually prepared to go back to school."

As back-to-school season approaches, most parents are focused on supplies, shoes, and physicals—but there’s one essential item missing from many checklists: a proper eye exam. In this solo episode, Jessica breaks down the hidden vision challenges that can impact your child’s learning, attention, and confidence in the classroom.

She explains why a standard eye exam (even with a trusted optometrist) may not catch critical issues like tracking, convergence, or near vision delays—and how developmental optometrists and behavioral eye care can bridge that gap.

If your child is struggling in school despite being bright and capable, this episode is your reminder to look deeper—it could be their eyes.
