Ensuring your child's eye health is a top priority, and we're here to make pediatric eye exams a seamless experience. Our specialized techniques and advanced technology cater to young ones, ensuring accurate testing and utmost comfort.

An astounding 80% of learning is visually driven. If your child's vision is compromised, their educational journey could be impacted. This rings especially true for infants, who explore and understand the world through their developing sight. To ensure your child's visual development is on track, regular eye check-ups are essential during crucial growth phases.

Infant Eye Exams: Birth-24 Months


Begin with a comprehensive infant eye exam at the six-month mark. During this critical examination, our skilled eye doctor will meticulously assess your child's vision and developmental progress. This thorough evaluation aims to identify potential issues that might compromise their eye health or vision, including conditions like strabismus (crossed eyes), amblyopia (lazy eye), farsightedness, nearsightedness, or astigmatism.

Kids Eye Exams: 2-5 Years Old


As your child journeys through the toddler and preschool phase, you'll witness remarkable leaps in their intellectual and motor skills. This period fosters the refinement of fine motor abilities, hand-eye coordination, and perceptive talents — all pivotal for future activities like reading, writing, sports, and artistic endeavors such as drawing, sculpting, and building. Vital to this progression is the foundation of good vision and visual processes.

This developmental juncture is precisely when parents should remain vigilant for signs of amblyopia or strabismus. Swift intervention is key, as early treatment significantly heightens success rates.

Equally important is recognizing potential developmental delays linked to object, number, or letter recognition; color identification; or coordination. Many times, these challenges are tied to visual issues. If you observe your child squinting, frequently rubbing their eyes, sitting unusually close to the TV or reading material, or avoiding activities like puzzles and coloring, consider a consultation with an eye doctor. By addressing visual concerns, you're nurturing your child's growth trajectory and potential.

School-Aged Children: Ages 6-18


Unattended or untreated vision issues can cast a shadow over children and teenagers, impacting their academic, social, athletic, and personal pursuits. If you notice your child struggling at school or during extracurricular activities, it might hint at an underlying vision concern. Beyond clear sight, fundamental skills such as learning, motor development, and reading rely on your eyes' cooperative function. When issues arise with focusing, reading, eye coordination, or hand-eye alignment, it often triggers frustration and potentially behavioral challenges. Importantly, children may not recognize that their vision experiences are abnormal, rendering them unable to express their need for assistance.

Beyond the previously mentioned indicators, older children may exhibit:

  • A shorter attention span
  • Frequent headaches
  • Excessive blinking
  • Resistance to reading
  • Tilting the head
  • Frequently losing their place while reading
  • Double vision
  • Struggles with reading comprehension
