Children's Eye Exams
Improving Your Kid's Future — Today.
Your child’s vision plays a major role in learning, development, and social confidence. Our pediatric exams are gentle, thorough, and designed to help kids feel comfortable every step of the way. Early detection means simpler correction — and better long-term outcomes.
What's Included?
Our exams include:
- Visual acuity testing
- Prescription measurement
- Eye-muscle coordination assessment
- Color-vision screening
- Front-of-eye microscope evaluation
- Eye-pressure testing for glaucoma
- Retinal evaluation with dilation
Why Dilation?
Dilation gives a full view of the retina—similar to opening a door instead of looking through a keyhole—allowing us to properly examine the back of the eye.
Early Detection
Why Your Child Needs Regular Eye Exams
Many childhood vision issues go unnoticed because kids often don’t know how to describe what they’re experiencing. Regular exams help detect problems early — before they interfere with reading, behavior, sports, or confidence in the classroom.
What To Look For:
- Blurry or double vision
- Trouble focusing on screens or schoolwork
- Squinting or tilting head
- "Wandering" or "lazy" eye
- Frequent and/or unexplained headaches
- Difficulty tracking words while reading
Success Tips For Your Visit:
- Bring any current glasses
- Make a list of concerns (reading, attention, headaches)
- Schedule morning appointments for young children when they’re more alert
- Tell your child the exam is easy and fun — because it is!
- Bring snacks or comfort items as needed
