Specsavers is encouraging parents to put an eye exam on their back to school checklist with its nationwide ‘Kids Go Free’ campaign. For the whole month of January children under 16 are eligible for a free comprehensive eye exam at Specsavers.
Specsavers launched the campaign in response to Perceptive Research they commissioned that found that less than half of parents surveyed had ever taken their child for an eye exam*.
Specsavers New Lynn optometrist, Philip Walsh, says it is imperative for parents to put a free eye exam on their ‘back to school’ checklist considering the impact poor eyesight can have on a child’s development.
“Eight really is the magic number when it comes to children’s sight. As much of a child’s development takes place before the age of eight; it can be much harder to correct any problems after that. Even conditions such as a squint or lazy eye can lead to long-term problems that can require surgery if not diagnosed before that age,” says Mr Walsh.
Specsavers stores are home to colourful kids’ and teens’ designer glasses, including Moshi Monsters, LEGO, Star Wars, Country Road, Roxy and Quiksilver.
We’ve got ONE voucher for two pairs of glasses from the Specsavers kids’ range. The vouchers are valued at $800 each. To be in to win, just fill in the form below. This competition closes on the 31st of March 2015 at 11:59pm.
