According to the American Optometric Association (AOA), one in four kids in a classroom has vision problems and 60 percent of "problem learners" have undetected vision problems.

According to AOA’s 2008 American Eye-Q® survey, only 39 percent of adults understand that behavioral problems can be an indication of vision problems.

According to a 2007 survey by VSP Vision Care, 65 percent of children nationwide have not had an eye exam in the last 12 months.

The AOA recommends children receive comprehensive eye exams beginning at six months, then 3 years old and annually when school begins.

Comprehensive eye exams are necessary to detect problems that a simple vision screening can miss, such as eye coordination, lazy eye, and near and farsightedness.
