Kudos Vision Centre
Your eyes are at work from the moment you wake up to the moment you close them to go to sleep. They take in lots of information from everything around you which is then sent to the brain so that the brain knows what is going on outside of your body. In fact, almost 80% of information that our brain receives comes from our eyes. So in order to support your optimal vision and to help detect conditions that could threaten your vision it is recommended that you get your eyes checked regularly.
Eye check-ups have a huge impact on keeping your eyes healthy. Besides detecting whether you need to start wearing glasses and change your prescription, eye checkups can also detect health problems such as Diabetes, thyroid disease, hypertension, high cholesterol, autoimmune disorders, cancer, and tumors.

Children's Vision
The school years are a very important time in every child's life and as children progress in school, they face increasing demands on their visual abilities.
For a child to succeed at school, good vision is crucial. Reading, writing, seeing the board, using computers and sports are important visual tasks children perform daily. When his or her vision is not functioning properly, education and participation in sports will suffer.
Well-functioning eyes will have;
Clear visual acuity: that is to see clearly at the close, middle and far distances. This includes reading a book, working on a computer or seeing the board in class.
Good eye health: to be free of diseases, and conditions such as strabismus, amblyopia (lazy eye) which can impair vision and lead to loss of vision if not diagnosed and treated early.
Good visual skills:
Eye focusing (the ability to quickly and accurately maintain clear vision as the distance from objects change, such as when looking from the board to a paper on the desk and back).
Eye coordination (the ability to use visual information to monitor and direct the hands when drawing a picture or trying to hit a ball).
Eye movement (use both eyes together when moving the eyes along a printed page, and to be able to judge distances for class work and sports).
Eye tracking (the ability to keep the eyes on target when looking from one object to another, moving the eyes along a printed page, or following a moving object like a thrown ball).
If any of the above is not functioning well then a child will have to work harder. This can lead to headaches, fatigue and poor achievements at school. Therefore, it is important for parents, caregivers, and teachers to take steps to find out if a vision anomaly is causing a child’s performance at school.
Good visual skills:
Squinting (closing eyes) to read/seeing board.
Moving closer to a book, desk or computer screen while reading.
Frequent eye rubbing or blinking.
Avoiding reading and other close activities.
Frequent headaches.
Covering one eye.
Tilting the head to one side.
Holding reading materials close to the face.
An eye turning in or out.
Seeing double.
If your child is suffering from any of the above symptoms or you have any concerns about your child’s vision, please call us now.
