Why kids’ eye exams are essential
Many vision problems in children can go unnoticed without a professional eye exam. School vision screenings aren’t enough, as they can miss up to 75% of children with vision problems.¹
Across the U.S., 1 in 4 children has a vision disorder that needs diagnosis and treatment by an eye doctor, yet most never get the care they need.² Catching problems early helps your child see clearly so they can learn, play, and grow without limits.
What to expect during a pediatric eye exam
A pediatric eye exam includes a thorough evaluation of your child’s vision and eye health. During the visit, our pediatric optometrist will:
- Conduct a comprehensive eye exam to check vision clarity and eye coordination
- Assess for common childhood vision issues such as nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism
- Discuss myopia management if your child’s vision is rapidly changing
- Determine if your child needs eyeglasses or contact lenses
- Evaluate eye health to screen for conditions that may impact vision or development
Our team makes each exam interactive and engaging to help children feel comfortable while providing accurate, reliable results.
Signs of vision problems in children
Here are some common signs that it might be time to see a pediatric eye doctor:
- Squinting, rubbing their eyes, or tilting their head to see
- Closing or covering one eye
- Complaints of headaches or eye strain
- Difficulty reading or focusing in school
- Sensitivity to light or trouble seeing at night
- Rapid changes in vision or frequent vision complaints
Even if no symptoms are present, regular eye exams are critical. Many childhood vision problems can develop silently, and children don’t always know what normal vision looks like.
