See to Learn® 

Omaha Primary EyeCare proudly participates in the See to Learn® program. The Eye Care Council developed this preventative program to ensure vision problems do not affect children’s early development and learning.

Eighty percent of a child’s learning ability relies on vision. The See to Learn® program focuses on identifying eye problems early, so they can be treated promptly. Early detection of vision issues helps children reach their full learning potential as they grow and develop.

What is See to Learn®? 

Through See to Learn®, parents and guardians can schedule a FREE vision assessment for their three-year-old child at a participating optometrist’s office. During this assessment, our optometrists will screen for early-stage eye issues using age-appropriate tools and tests. We’ll assess your child’s eyes to ensure they work well individually and together, track smoothly, and see clearly.

What are the benefits of See to Learn®? 

In addition to assessing your child’s eyes for overall health and visual acuity, See to Learn® offers resources for ensuring your child has a clear path to learning. The program’s three-step system has helped more than 60,000 school-aged children join their first classrooms free of vision-related problems.

The three steps are:

  • Step 1: Stay vigilant. See to Learn® empowers parents, guardians, and educators to recognize the signs of vision problems in children. It also provides resources to keep them informed about common symptoms that can occur at any age.  
  • Step 2: Get the test. Three-year-olds are given a free vision assessment from a participating Eye Care Council optometrist, such as Omaha Primary EyeCare. Early detection is key, as serious conditions like amblyopia (lazy eye) and strabismus (turned eye) require intervention before age five. 
  • Step 3: Follow up. Before or during a child’s first year of school, See to Learn® encourages parents/guardians to schedule an examination with an optometrist. Every year, 25 percent of starting kindergartners have vision issues affecting their ability to learn, which may not be detected in school-performed screenings.
