Early Eye Exams

Eye exams are not just for determining a prescription for glasses or contact lenses. Early eye exams can help our team monitor and report developing vision problems and prepare a personalized treatment plan.

During an eye exam, our team can check for refractive errors such as myopia (nearsightedness), hyperopia (farsightedness), and astigmatism. Early visual development is crucial for your children and contributes to other aspects of their life.

Untreated visual issues can negatively affect your child’s development and interfere with learning both inside and outside the classroom.

Frequency of Eye Exams for Children

The right time for an eye exam can depend on various factors, including their age and visual development stage. Children’s vision is ever-changing, so monitoring visual development is essential.

The following eye exam frequency is recommended for children:

First exam at 6 to 12 months of age
At least 1 exam between 3 and 5 years of age
1 exam before first grade and annually from 6 through 17 years of age

Our team will conduct an eye examination that will include comprehensive vision testing to determine your child’s unique prescription.

A children’s eye exam will test crucial visual skills such as:

Visual acuity
Eye focusing
Eye tracking
Eye teaming

A comprehensive eye examination can help detect common conditions like strabismus (crossed eyes) or amblyopia (lazy eye). Early detection is vital to allow for early treatment and correction.

Assisting with Visual Development

Our team strives to assist your children on their visual development journey. We strive to help build and maintain good vision care habits that your children can carry into adulthood.
