Hi, I've been noticing some signs that make me worried about my child's eyesight.

They seem to have trouble seeing the board in class.

I understand your concern.

What specific signs have you noticed?

They squint a lot and complain of headaches, especially after reading or doing homework.

Those are common symptoms of vision issues in children.

Sometimes they might also rub their eyes or sit too close to the TV.

Have you noticed anything like that?

Yes, they do sit quite close to the screen.

Should I take them for an eye test?

Definitely.

An eye test will help us determine if they need glasses or if there's another issue.

When would you like to schedule the appointment?

Can we do it sometime this week?

Sure!

How does Thursday at 2 pm sound?

That sounds perfect.

Thank you for your help!

You’re welcome!

Looking forward to seeing you both then.
