Child Exams
Clear, comfortable vision is the foundation of a child's learning, development, and confidence. Our doctors make every visit calm, patient, and even a little fun.
Why children’s eye exams matter
An estimated 80% of what a child learns is processed visually, yet many vision problems have no obvious symptoms. School screenings catch only a fraction of issues — a comprehensive exam checks far more than the letters on a chart.
- Eye teaming, focusing, and tracking for reading
- Nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism
- Amblyopia (lazy eye) and eye alignment
- Overall eye health and development
What to expect
Exams are tailored to your child’s age — no reading required for our youngest patients. We keep the pace relaxed, explain each step, and use dilation only when it adds real diagnostic value.
- Age-appropriate, no-pressure testing
- Kid-friendly explanations at every step
- Over 100 children’s frames to choose from
- A little prize to celebrate a great visit
When to schedule
Children should have their first comprehensive exam between ages 3 and 5, then yearly once they start school — or sooner if you notice squinting, sitting close to screens, headaches, or eye rubbing.
Common Questions
Child Exams, answered.
At what age should my child have their first eye exam?
We recommend a first comprehensive exam between ages 3 and 5, before starting school, and annually after that. Children with risk factors or symptoms should be seen sooner.
My child passed the school vision screening. Do they still need an exam?
Yes. Screenings are quick and check mainly distance clarity. A comprehensive exam evaluates eye teaming, focusing, and eye health that screenings miss.
