Your Back-to-School Check List: Don’t Skip Vision Screenings

(NewsUSA) - The end of summer means back-to-school season for families across the country. As parents shop for new backpacks and clothes, they should be sure not to overlook one of the most important parts of the back-to-school checklist – the visual health of their child.

That’s where vision screening comes in.
