Student Eyecare Program - Register your student for a free eye examination
We are pleased to announce that the Student Eyecare Program will be running at Viewbank College from Week 7 commencing on the 26th August for students in Year 7 - Year 11. An optometrist will be onsite during school hours to provide students with a free comprehensive eye examination that is covered through Medicare Australia. 1 in 6 students have eye conditions that go undetected. This is due to the high level of visual demand on their eyes from books, laptops, tablets and smartphones. Every student will receive a full report about their eye health and a prescription will be provided if glasses are required. The prescription can be taken to any optical store to get the glasses made. Don’t miss out on this wonderful opportunity.
