Why Your Child Needs a Pediatric Eye Exam
Experts recommend that children have their first eye exam around 1 year old to ensure their vision develops properly (Cleveland Clinic’s article on the subject).You might wonder, “Isn’t a vision screening at school or the pediatrician enough?” The answer is: not exactly. While these screenings may identify basic refractive errors like nearsightedness or farsightedness, they don’t provide a complete picture of your child’s visual health.
What Sets Our Pediatric Eye Exams Apart?
Comprehensive Evaluation
- We go beyond basic screenings to assess your child’s ability to track while reading, focusing issues, and detect any pathological causes of poor vision, in addition to checking for refractive errors.
Helping Children Understand Normal Vision
- Many children don’t realize they have vision problems because they perceive their vision as normal. Our comprehensive eye exams reveal issues like double vision or misalignment that they might not notice.
