The holiday season is a time of joy, wonder, and festive lights, but for children with undetected vision issues, the magic of this time of year may not shine as brightly. Clear vision plays a crucial role in a child’s ability to fully engage in holiday activities, from reading their favorite seasonal stories to spotting ornaments on the tree or participating in winter games. Ensuring your child has optimal vision is one of the best gifts you can offer this holiday season—and Vizavance is here to help.
