Include an eye examination in your childs B4 school check.
Because 80% of a child's learning is visual, we recommend an eye examination by an optometrist before starting school to evaluate if they have any visual difficulties.
In some cases, young children often do not show any signs of visual problems. - For someone who works in the industry, I had no idea my 4 year old needed glasses! (amblyopia)
Now he quite often tells me he can't see very well without his glasses on as he has something to compare it with now.
Our optometrist, Paul Roux is an experienced behavioural optometrist treating children with learning difficulties and visual problems such as amblyopia, strabismus and irlen syndrome.
Children 15 years and under, can qualify for a free (subsidised) eye examination with a current community services card. Contact us for more details or to book an appointment.

From rugged campsite to 7.5ha resort
Grant Kilby has always loved camping. His mum was director of health at the YMCA, and he would attend YMCA camps in the school holidays. “I think it was mandatory that I was there,” he jokes.
He went on camping holidays with his parents, and later, took his own kids.
“Camping’s been in my blood.”
