The Importance of Early Eye Exams

Regular eye exams help us stay on top of your child’s visual development. We recommend the following eye exam schedule for your children:

Between the ages of 1 and 2: A comprehensive eye exam at this age helps establish a baseline for vision development.
Before the age of 5: A comprehensive eye exam before starting school can help identify potential vision problems that can impact learning.
Annually: Regular eye exams throughout the school years monitor vision changes and address concerns, helping set your child up for academic success.

A Child-Friendly Approach

Visiting the eye doctor can be a new, exciting, and intimidating experience for children. Our team is committed to creating a comfortable and welcoming environment to help put your child at ease.

We use age-appropriate techniques, including picture-based exams instead of traditional letter charts, to make the process fun and engaging. We also offer small rewards, like stickers or suckers, so their visit is even more enjoyable!

How Vision Can Impact Learning

Vision problems can impact kids’ daily lives and lead to learning issues at school. Some eye conditions can make it difficult for children to read from a distance, see the board, and participate in sports and other activities.

Vision trouble can cause stress and confusion and, if left undiagnosed, cause them to fall behind in school.

Clear, healthy vision isn’t just about seeing the whiteboard—it’s about absorbing and understanding information from books, presentations, and classroom discussions. With healthy vision, your child can approach learning with confidence.

Comprehensive Care for Kids

Our children’s eye exams go beyond simply checking for nearsightedness or farsightedness. We assess your child’s overall eye health, including:

Color vision: Determining if your child can accurately perceive colors.
Depth perception: Evaluating your child’s ability to judge distances and spatial relationships.
Eye alignment: Checking for signs of misalignment, such as crossed eyes or lazy eye.
Refractive errors: Detecting nearsightedness, farsightedness, or astigmatism.

Early detection and treatment of vision problems are important for your child’s success in school and daily life.
