Pediatric Eye Exams
Why Pediatric Eye Exams Are Important
Your child’s eyes are constantly changing as they grow, which makes pediatric eye care an integral part of their overall wellness. During a pediatric eye exam, our optometrists work to detect any eye conditions your child might have before their vision is affected. We also monitor the progression of these conditions at each visit, so your child isn’t vulnerable to more serious sight problems later in life. To ensure your child gets the most out of their eyewear, you should bring your child in yearly to keep their prescription up to date.
The Differences Between Pediatric and Adult Eye Exams
Pediatric eye exams are just as thorough as adult eye exams — the main difference is that they’re tailored to children’s eyes by putting greater focus on identifying eye conditions that tend to develop at a young age. These conditions, such as amblyopia (lazy eye), strabismus (crossed eyes), and myopia (nearsightedness), are common in kids, but can be easily managed with early diagnosis and proper care.
What to Expect at Your Child’s Exam
When you bring your child in for their annual eye exam, you can be sure our optometrists and optometric technicians will check them thoroughly for all age-specific conditions, any changes in their vision prescription, and monitor any issues they may already have. We use advanced, child-friendly technology to painlessly perform their exams and give us a complete picture of their eye health. From there, our optical specialists work with your child to select the perfect eyewear for their needs and personality, so they’re set up for success in style!
