More Than a Regular Check-Up

Our children’s eye exams aren’t only about determining your child’s prescription for glasses or contact lenses. Frequent eye exams help us monitor your child’s visual development and check for early signs of eye disease or other vision issues.

Eye exams allow our team to address conditions such as amblyopia (lazy eye) and strabismus (crossed eyes) early to prevent future complications. Our team also checks for refractive errors such as:

Myopia (nearsightedness)
Hyperopia (farsightedness)
Astigmatism

Early visual development is crucial for your children, and we strive to be there to help ensure that development is progressing smoothly.

Eye Exam Frequency

Children’s vision is ever-changing and developing, so consistently monitoring development is essential. The following eye exam frequency is recommended for children:

First eye exam between 6 and 9 months
One eye exam between the ages of 2 and 5
Yearly between the ages of 6 to 18

Our team may schedule additional exams depending on your child’s unique visual needs.
