Vision is an integral part of helping children grow and discover knowledge.

\nA study by The Hong Kong Polytechnic University found that 61.5% of 12\u2011year\u2011old children suffer from myopia. Vision problems may hinder their social activities and academic development. In addition, certain eye conditions, such as amblyopia, show no obvious external symptoms, and children are often unaware of their own vision problems. Without regular eye examinations, these issues may remain undiagnosed for months or even years. Early detection can help to prevent and mitigate eye problems. In fact, when a child\u2019s vision is still developing (up to around 7 or 8 years of age), vision problems are easier to manage and treat.<\/p>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
