Vision Develops As Your Child Grows
We are not born with good vision. Vision develops from infancy through childhood and continues to change throughout our lives. Proper vision development plays a vital role in your child’s overall growth and development.
Undiagnosed and untreated vision problems could contribute to learning difficulties, interfere with self-esteem and career choices.
It is our mission at Sun Time Vision Specialist Centre to ensure that all the children in the Kuala Lumpur and surrounding areas have better vision for life.
Frequently Asked Questions
Many of the children we see in our office passed vision screenings and other eye exams yet they were struggling with undiagnosed vision problems.
It is important for parents to understand that the testing equipment used during the school screenings and eye exams only measures how well one can see the letters on the eye chart. Most vision screenings test for distance vision, color vision and any obvious signs of vision problems such as color blindness.
The ability to see the letters on an eye chart is just 1 out of 17 visual skills that are critical to reading and learning. Most eye doctors do not test all 17 visual skills. So even if you have been told your child’s vision is OK, there could still be a problem.

The Neuro-Developmental Vision Evaluation is a very different and specific eye test compared to a basic eye examination. The Neuro-Development Vision Evaluation typically takes an hour and a half as it is very specific and thorough. This test is designed to determine how your child uses her or his eyes throughout the day, specifically when reading and performing schoolwork. If your child is not ready for school, the testing will determine if your child is developing the proper visual skills.
Once the Neuro-Development Vision Evaluation is complete, our Behavioral and Developmental optometrist will review the results and treatment options with both parents in detail on a second office visit. This appointment could take up to half an hour to an hour depending on the questions you may have.
