Did you know one in four children has an undiagnosed vision problem? Right now when you purchase individual vision insurance from VSP Direct™ as a gift, a child in need receives a free eye exam and glasses. That means when you give the Gift of Sight from VSP, you give twice. Find out more at www.givevspdirect.com/eyegiveback. Thanks to VSP for sponsoring this post.
School is already difficult enough, having to squint or deal with things being out of focus is not going to help with the children paying attention in class and getting good grades. That 1 in every 4 kids have undiagnosed vision problems is WAY too many.
VSP Direct™ is an incredible insurance program for vision care. Not only can you get great vision insurance for yourself and kids (or as a gift!), when you purchase a plan with VSP Direct™ they are donating an eye exam and glasses to a child in need right now. That is huge! Especially seeing that by the age of 5, all children should have completed THREE eye exams – most kids don’t unfortunately. Up to 76%!
20% of all children struggle to read due to their vision. That would suck! I remember when I was about 14 I started having vision problems.
I had to get glasses at first as I actually have an astigmatism and I had NO idea what was going on, why I was all of a sudden seeing somethings double. I was 14 though so old enough to understand what the deal was. When kids are younger, that isn’t always as obvious to them.
