September often means back to school, back to work, and a return to a more structured routine after the summer holidays. It's also an ideal time to get back into good health habits, and that includes your eyes. Between shorter days, hours spent in front of screens, and a schedule that's filling up fast, the start of the school year is the perfect time to take stock of your vision.

Why have a vision checkup at the start of the school year?

You may have overlooked certain small signs during the summer: frequent headaches, eye strain at the end of the day, blurred vision in front of the computer... With the return to activities, these problems can quickly become bothersome.

An eye checkup in September allows you to:

> Detect a change in your prescription

> Adapt your glasses or Contact Lenses to your current needs (particularly if you change screens or work schedules)

> Preventing Eyestrain from Poor Equipment

Whether you wear glasses, contact lenses, or nothing at all, a regular eye exam is recommended every 1 to 2 years, or more often for children, teenagers, and people over 45.

Think about your glasses and contact lenses!

Back to school is also a good time to check the condition of your equipment:

> Are your glasses scratched, ill-fitting, or uncomfortable?

> Are your lenses suitable for your current use (screens, driving, sports)?

> Do you have enough Contact Lenses for the coming weeks? The right care product?

Take this time to replenish your stock and update your prescriptions, if necessary. Some opticians offer free checkups or special offers in September—an opportunity not to be missed!

Think about your children's glasses and contact lenses!

The start of the school year is crucial for the visual health of young children. A child with poor vision may experience difficulties with learning, concentration, or even behavior. However, many don't spontaneously complain about their vision.

Remember to:

> Have their vision checked before or at the beginning of the school year,

> Check the fit and strength of their glasses if they wear them,

> Teach them proper hygiene practices if they use Contact Lenses,

A simple habit for a year with clear vision

Taking care of your vision in September ensures optimal comfort for the months ahead. A few simple steps now can save you a lot of trouble later.

In summary:

> Schedule an eye checkup for the whole family

> Check and renew your glasses, Contact Lenses and accessories

> Take advantage of back-to-school offers at opticians

> Develop good visual habits now!
