Educational Website and Brochure Promote Proper Eye Health for Children
To help eyecare professionals prepare for the back-to-school season, Transitions Optical, Inc. is offering new, consumer-friendly education tools and resources through its Eye Didn’t Know That! program.
Refreshed with a new look and design, the updated Eye Didn’t Know That! website, found at www.EyeDidntKnowThat.ca, offers interactive resources for kids and classroom curricula that can be shared with teachers to educate students about eye health. The site’s newResourceCenter includes a wide range of materials that ECPs can leverage:
- Lesson plans, developed by MORE Health, provide a clear and engaging script to help eyecare professionals facilitate interaction with students during in-classroom presentations.
- Fact sheets and checklists are available to help parents and teachers understand the link between healthy sight and learning, and to determine if a child may be struggling from a vision problem.
- Posters and colouring pages are available for eyecare professionals to use in-office to educate patients about the eye health needs of children.
ECPs can also share the new Eye Didn’t Know That! 12-page brochure with families, or within their local communities. The brochure features a number of games, activities and information for children of all ages, along with basic tips for parents, caregivers and teachers. It can be downloaded from theTradePartnersResourceCenter at www.EyeDidntKnowThat.ca, or ordered through Transitions Optical Customer Service.
