Children's Eye Health Campaign 2011

Did you know that up to 1 million children in the UK currently have an undetected vision problem?

Poor eyesight can have a significant effect on children’s ability to learn and on their behaviour – yet often goes unrecognised by teachers, parents and by children themselves.

The AOP, as part of the Optical Confederation, is continuing its efforts to reach parents, teachers and health professionals by highlighting the importance of children’s eye health.

Back to school routine - don't forget to book a sight test!

Our campaign aims to encourage parents to include a sight test in their ‘back to school’ routine this summer to ensure that their child’s vision is not forgotten about.

More information about the campaign can be found on the tabs on the right-hand side of this page.
