Our pediatric eye examination checks your child’s vision and eye health to support learning, development, and play. Many vision problems in children go unnoticed because kids often don’t realize anything is wrong.
We test visual acuity, eye alignment, focusing, and depth perception, and we look for conditions like nearsightedness, lazy eye (amblyopia), and crossed eyes (strabismus). Our approach is gentle and kid-friendly, using games and pictures for younger patients.
The American Optometric Association recommends a first visit between 6 and 12 months, another between ages 3 and 5, and yearly checkups once children start school. Watch for squinting, frequent eye rubbing, or trouble reading, which may signal a problem.
