At Central Ohio Vision and Eyecare, we prioritize your child’s vision as a crucial part of their development and success. Our pediatric eye exams, led by Dr. Keller, are designed specifically for young children, starting as early as 6 months old. Unlike standard adult exams or vision screenings at schools or pediatricians’ offices, our comprehensive pediatric exams thoroughly evaluate your child’s visual system.

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.

Expert Care with Dr. Keller

  • Dr. Keller specializes in pediatric eye care and works expertly with children of all ages. She uses various techniques to gather detailed information about your child’s visual system, ensuring accurate diagnoses and effective treatments.

Focusing on Learning and Development

  • Good vision is essential for learning. Dr. Keller aims to remove any visual barriers that might hinder your child’s academic performance and overall development. She dedicates herself to helping every child in New Albany and the surrounding communities achieve their full potential.

What to Expect During the Exam

During the exam, Dr. Keller will:

  • Check for proper eye alignment and teaming
  • Assess focusing ability
  • Identify any refractive errors
  • Evaluate overall ocular health
