  • The National Association of School Nurses Teams up with Lenscrafters to Help Students Get a Head Start This School Year Through Proper Eye Care
    The National Association of School Nurses Teams Up with LensCrafters to Help Students Get a Head Start this School Year through Proper Eye Care Silver Spring, MD (September 2, 2015) – Poor vision can impact a child’s achievement at school, as well as their mental and social development; in fact, it is estimated that 80 percent of a child’s learning comes through the eyes.i Therefore, it is critical that children receive proper eye care to help ensure they are learning in the classroom and staying as healthy as possible. To encourage good health and learning this school year, the National Association of School Nurses (NASN) is partnering with LensCrafters to educate parents and families about the importance of vision screening and regular eye exams. Children who are experiencing vision problems may not actually realize they are having issues. However, parents can be on the lookout for unexpected signs of eye problems, such as: Appearance of the eyes: different sized pupils, red eyes or swollen eyelids Behavior in school: excessive blinking, stumbling or daydreaming Complaints: headaches, dizziness, nausea or double vision Parents who are concerned about their child’s vision health should speak with a qualified healthcare professional, like their school nurse or an eye doctor. In schools, nurses play a vital role in conducting evidence-based vision screenings. “As nurses on the front-lines of childhood healthcare, we are often the first medical professional to identify a vision care need and can help alert parents to the issue, refer them for a comprehensive eye examination and assist in finding resources, if needed,” said Beth Mattey, President of the National Association of School Nurses.
