Risk Assessment: Quick Dx

DrB06 mins

 

Introduction – As a species, I doubt we evolved specifically to end up using computers, smart devices, and other sustained near-point activities. The signs of visual strain are common, but often go undetected or ignored. Use this tool to do a quick assessment of risk for yourself or your child. If the result shows further care is indicated, you will almost certainly feel the benefits of comprehensive vision care. Like the most comfortable pair of shoes you’ve ever worn; applied to vision, this means a whole new world of comfort and freedom that can only be lived to be truly appreciated. You owe it to yourself and your child to pursue optimal visual function and health. Remove the obstacles to living and learning: It’s a kind and prudent thing to do.

Quick Assessment Tool

  1. Print this list off. (See Attachment).
  2. Put a mark beside each item that applies to you or your child.
  3. If the results indicate a likely problem, call 403-933-5552 or write info@dvvc.ca to book an appointment. This is especially important if you are a student or work with books, paper, or computers.
  4. Bring this paper with you to the appointment.
