The Children’s Vision Law has been in place now for one year and has had great success in the state of Missouri.  All children entering kindergarten are required to have a comprehensive eye examination by a licensed optometrist or ophthalmologist.  Comprehensive eye examinations diagnose: Amblyopia (“lazy eye”), which affects 5% of children, Color vision deficiencies (color blindness), which affects 8% of all boys, myopia (“near-sightedness”), hyperopia (“far-sightedness”) and astigmatism.  Theses are common problems that can easily be treated with proper care.  Schedule an appointment today with Dr. Scott Hussey or Dr. Shelley Williams at Williams and Hussey Eyecare.
