Academic performance and children’s vision are inextricably linked, according to this post from the Vision Impact Institute on #WorldBookDay. Experts cite that up to 80 percent of all learning occurs visually, leaving kids with poor vision at a major disadvantage. In 2016, the Vision Impact Institute, in partnership with Optometry Giving Sight and other organizations, created Kids See: Success, an initiative designed to advocate for eye exams for children before they enter kindergarten. Today, the organizations are working in several states to ensure good policies for the future of children’s vision.
