Why Children’s Eye Care Matters

Children undergo crucial developmental stages, and good vision is essential for reaching milestones such as reading, learning, and social interaction.

Detecting and addressing vision issues early can prevent potential learning difficulties and ensure that your child thrives in various aspects of life.

A significant portion of a child’s learning occurs visually. Ensuring optimal vision enhances their ability to absorb information, engage with surroundings, and excel academically.

Signs of Vision Issues in Children
When to Schedule a Children’s Eye Exam

Frequent Squinting: If your child frequently squints, it may indicate a refractive error, such as nearsightedness or farsightedness.
Headaches or Eye Strain: Complaints of headaches or eye strain, especially during activities like reading or using digital devices, may signal the need for an eye examination.
Avoiding Near or Distance Tasks: If your child avoids activities that require clear vision, it could indicate a vision problem that needs attention.

Early Assessments: A child’s first eye exam should occur around the age of six months to one year to ensure healthy visual development.
Regular Check-ups: Follow-up eye exams are recommended at ages three and five, and then annually as your child enters school.

Importance of Children’s Eye Exams

Vision Screening vs. Comprehensive Eye Exam: While schools may conduct vision screenings, a comprehensive eye exam provides a more thorough evaluation, detecting issues that may be missed in a screening.
Myopia Control: Early intervention can help manage myopia (nearsightedness) progression, preventing more severe vision problems in the future.
Correcting Amblyopia (Lazy Eye): Early detection and treatment of conditions like amblyopia are crucial for optimal visual outcomes.

Why Choose Vision I Care for Your Child’s Vision?

Specialized Care: Our eye doctors are trained and experienced in managing the unique visual needs of children.
Early Detection: Timely exams can detect visual issues early, preventing potential hindrances in learning and development.
Age-Appropriate Exams: We welcome children age 5 and older, ensuring age-appropriate care for every stage of development.

Toddler and Preschool Eye Exams

The toddler and preschool age is a critical period for developing intellectual and motor skills. Our exams focus on assessing:

Refractive Errors: Myopia, hyperopia, and astigmatism.
Visual System: Signs of conditions like strabismus and amblyopia.
Visual Focusing Ability: Ensuring readiness for activities like reading and writing.

Fun and engaging tools, including eye chart tests with pictures, help make the exam enjoyable for your child.

Preschool to School-Age Follow-Up

As your child grows, regular eye exams every two years are recommended, even if no signs of visual problems are apparent. Watch for signs such as squinting, frequent eye rubbing, or sitting close to screens, indicating potential vision issues.

Eye Exams for Kids Ages 6-18

Undetected or uncorrected vision problems can impact a child’s academic, social, and athletic performance. Our exams for school-age kids assess crucial visual skills for learning, including:

Binocular vision
Focusing
Peripheral vision
Color vision
Hand-eye coordination

What If a Problem Is Detected?
