Did you know?
Many children try to adapt to their vision problem without knowing they could see better. Teachers are uniquely placed to detect the signs of a potential vision problem.
Teachers
With 1 in 10 Australian children suffering from a long-term
eye disorder, you are in a unique position to assist in the early
detection of vision problems.
Optometrists Association Australia has developed a range of materials to provide you with some guidelines and a list of signs that may indicate a vision problem.
You can order teachers' guides, parents' guides, multilingual guides, classroom posters and stickers free of charge. You can also download an article that can be included in your school newsletter.
