As Indiana families prepare for a new school year, doctors say backpacks and school supplies are not the only essentials.
Scheduling annual health appointments can identify problems before they interfere with learning.
Dr. Don Lyon, a clinical professor in the School of Optometry at Indiana University-Bloomington, said one area to watch closely is your child’s vision.
Lyon pointed out children with undiagnosed vision problems may struggle with reading, develop headaches or experience eye strain without realizing poor vision is the cause.
