Your Teenager’s Vision – Study, Screens and Selfies

Oh, the life of today’s teenagers! Juggling the demands of increased high school study and a hectic social life means that vision problems can become apparent for the first time. Lengthy screen time on smartphones, tablets and computers challenges your teen’s vision every day.

Any complaints of blurry vision, sore eyes, difficulty focusing or headaches should always be investigated through a comprehensive eye test with us. We will assess your teen’s vision, their vision needs and their eye health. Because confidence and self-image (or should that be selfie-image!) are so important, we have a range of vision correction options for teenagers, with some teens preferring to opt for contact lenses and others embracing the latest ‘on trend’ eyewear in both glasses and sunglasses. If your teen is spending a lot of time outside in our bright Queensland sunshine, quality UV protective sunglasses are essential in protecting their young eyes. The greatest percentage of UV-related eye damage occurs in the teenage and young adult years.

Now is a great time to book a comprehensive eye test for your teenager at Outlook Eye Centre. This will ensure that their hardworking eyes are the best they can be! Contact us to arrange an appointment for your teenager.
