Eighty (80%) of learning is visual. One in six children have visual performance problems. A child may have 20/20 vision but still have learning problems due to inefficient visual skills and/or perceptual problems, making it difficult for the child to read and learn.

The Canadian Association of Optometrists (CAO) recommends all children have a complete vision examination between one and three years of age and again before entering school. It is recommended children to be seen yearly thereafter, even in the absence of symptoms.

Vision Correction

FYi Clinics offer many of the designer fashion frames available in todays marketplace. FYi strives to maintain a high level of choice, style and service. Glasses come in all shapes and sizes, offering an array of choices for both function and fashion. Eyeglass frames, for example, are more durable and tout materials such as titanium and new "memory" metals. Glasses/lenses reduce or eliminate refractive errors by making light rays focus properly onto the retina. The power needed to focus images directly on the retina is measured in diopters. This measurement is also your eyeglass prescription. Lenses are thinner, stronger and lighter than ever before.
