Kids' Eye Care

Children should have their first comprehensive eye exam at 6 months of age. We make kids' eye health fun and easy.

Why Children's Eye Tests Matter

Eye tests for children are vital to ensure your child's eyes are healthy and free from vision problems that could interfere with school performance and safety.

Children often don't realize they have a vision problem because they assume everyone sees the same way they do. Regular exams catch issues early when treatment is most effective.

Conditions We Screen For

Amblyopia (Lazy Eye)

Occurs when one eye works better than the other. When left untreated, it can cause permanent vision loss. Early detection is key.

Strabismus

Eyes point in different directions. Even if it only happens sometimes, your child should have an eye test to evaluate alignment.

Myopia (Nearsightedness)

Affects how your child sees distant objects. If your child squints or cannot see the board at school, book an eye test. We also offer myopia control treatments to slow progression.

Ptosis

A drooping eyelid that can block vision. If one eyelid droops or appears uneven, talk to a doctor promptly.
