Eye See...Eye Learn Comes to Halton
How well can your child see? Don't assume you know the answer! Only an eye exam by an optometrist will be able to tell you if you child can see well and if their eyes are developing properly. All junior kindergarten children in Halton are encouraged to participate in the Eye See...Eye Learn program. It is a program that provides JK students a comprehensive eye examination (bring Health Card) by a participating optometrist, and if they require a pair of glasses; the child will receive them FREE of charge.
