Why Have Your Eyes Tested Before the New Term?

Pourquoi faire contrôler la vue avant la rentrée ?

The start of a new term is a time of renewal, whether returning to school, beginning higher education or embarking on a career change. In all cases, clear and precise vision is essential to ensure a successful year. Whether you are a parent, a teenager, a student or an adult in the midst of a career change, it is essential to have your eyes tested before embarking on this new adventure. Here is why.

Preventing Vision Problems That Hinder Learning

For children and teenagers, poor vision can seriously hinder learning. Indeed, approximately 80% of learning takes place through sight. Whether reading the board, following online lessons, or doing homework, optimal vision is crucial for effective learning. An eye examination before the start of term allows conditions such as myopia, hyperopia and astigmatism to be detected early and corrected before they become an obstacle to academic success.

For adults, good vision is equally crucial. Long hours spent reading, working on computers, or following online courses can cause eye strain and headaches. An eye examination can prevent these issues and improve productivity and concentration.

Improving Concentration and Performance 

Impaired vision can lead to difficulties following lessons, reading documents or concentrating on important tasks. Children and teenagers who struggle to see may become withdrawn, find it hard to concentrate, and lose motivation easily. For adults, this can mean making errors when performing complex tasks, a reduction in productivity or a loss of motivation. By having an eye test before the new term, everyone can be sure of starting the school or professional year on the right foot, without the stress of uncorrected vision problems.

Preventing the Risks Associated with Eye Strain

With the increase in screen time, whether for study or work, the risks of eye strain are higher than ever. Symptoms such as red eyes, dry eyes and headaches can become daily companions if corrective measures are not taken. Having your eyes tested allows these issues to be identified and treated in time, notably with blue-light-blocking glasses or specific lenses for screen work.

Adopting Good Visual Health Habits at Every Age

By having the whole family's vision checked regularly, including adults, you instil good visual health habits. Regular monitoring helps prevent the deterioration of vision problems and encourages the adoption of good practices to preserve long-term eyesight, such as wearing suitable glasses or using specific solutions for screen work.
