Importance of Early Eye Exams

While eye exams are used to determine your child’s unique prescription for glasses or contact lenses, they also help our team monitor and diagnose developing vision problems and check for eye diseases.

Our team will check for refractive errors such as myopia (nearsightedness), hyperopia (farsightedness), and astigmatism during the exam. This time of visual development is crucial for your children, and proper vision care is essential.

If these visual issues go untreated, they can affect your child’s development and interfere with learning inside and outside the classroom.

When to Visit Us

Knowing when it’s the right time for an eye exam can stress some parents out, and the right time depends on various factors such as age and visual needs. Children’s vision is ever-changing and evolving, so monitoring their visual development is crucial.

The following eye exam frequency is recommended for children:

First exam at 6 to 12 months of age
At least 1 exam between 3 and 5 years of age
1 exam before first grade and annually from 6 through 17 years of age

Our team will conduct comprehensive vision testing during the exam to determine your child’s prescription and explore myopia control methods if needed.

Our children’s eye exam will test visual skills such as:

Eye tracking
Eye focusing
Eye teaming
Eye-hand coordination
Eye perception
Visual acuity

Depending on your child’s visual needs, additional exams and testing may be recommended outside the usual eye exam frequency.
