Bright Eyes at the Tampa Homeschool Conference

FPEAOn Saturday, July 21, Bright Eyes joined the Tampa Bay Homeschool Conference as an exhibitor, promoting children's eye exams. Dr. Nate and Cristina spoke with many concerned parents and educational professionals, and even a few of our patients.  We answered a variety of questions, such as "When should my child have their first eye exam?" and "My child is struggling with reading - Could it be a vision problem?".

Answer #1: Now! The American Optometric Association recommends regular eye exams starting at age 1, but definitely by age 5.

Answer #2: Yes, but you will only find out when you have your child's eyes checked by a children or family specialist.

The conference, sponsored by the Florida Parent Educators Association (FPEA) included a variety of instructional and inspirational workshops, and an exhibit hall full of book vendors and local businesses that offer specialty services for homeschool families. I think we were able to encourage a lot of families to seek eye care in their areas! And we had a great time. We look forward to participating in future homeschool conferences and encouraging parents to have their children's eyes
checked regularly.
