At Brampton Family Eye Care, we're passionate about ensuring every child enters school with the best possible vision. We're proud participants in the Eye See Eye Learn (ESEL) program, designed specifically for junior and senior kindergarten children in Ontario.
Early Vision Care: The Key to Unlocking Potential
Did you know that 80% of a child's learning is visual? Surprisingly, less than 14% of children under six undergo eye examinations, even though about 25% of school-aged children in Canada face undiagnosed vision problems. These issues can significantly impede their learning and literacy development, making early detection and corrective measures crucial.
The Eye See Eye Learn Advantage
The ESEL program encourages parents to ensure their kindergarten-aged children get their eyes checked — a critical step in their educational journey. If your child needs glasses, they'll receive a pair for free, thanks to the generous support of OGI Eyewear and Nikon Lenswear Canada. This initiative ensures that vision care is accessible to all families, setting children up for success.
Eye Care For the Young Covered by OHIP
In Brampton, eye exams for all children under 20 are fully covered by the Ontario Health Insurance Plan (OHIP), making it easier for parents to prioritize their child's eye health without financial burden. Brampton Family Eye Care is committed to leveraging this fantastic program to benefit our community's youngest members.
