Have you ever heard of vision therapy for children ? If you have a child with vision issue, it is important to understand exactly what vision therapy is (and isn't), so that you are able to make an informed decision. This article will help you do just that.... allaboutvision.com/parents/vision_therapy.htm

For Magda, having lenses adjusted to her vision in any situation, including prescription sun lenses, means feeling confident and safe, especially while driving.... For us at Essilor, offering vision solutions custom made to everyone’s lifestyle and needs is a way to give life to our mission : improving life by improving sight. Find out about Magda’s story in this video.
