Pediatric Eye Care
Screening at Every Age
From infants to teens, exams are adapted to each stage of visual development, catching issues while treatment works best.
Learning-Focused Checks
Since so much of classroom learning depends on clear sight, exams look closely at focus, tracking, and reading comfort.
Gentle, Family-Centered Visits
Exams are designed to keep children calm and cooperative, with parents involved in every step and explanation.
Kid-Friendly Technology
Picture-based charts and playful instruments make tests easy to understand, even for the youngest patients.
Our Pediatric Eye Services
Newborn & Infant Eye Exam
Checks eye alignment, pupil response, and overall eye structure in the first months of life, catching rare but serious conditions early.
Amblyopia (Lazy Eye) Screening
Identifies reduced vision in one eye caused by the brain favoring the stronger eye, most treatable when caught before age seven.
Strabismus (Eye Alignment) Evaluation
Assesses whether the eyes work together properly, identifying crossed or misaligned eyes that can affect depth perception if untreated.
School Readiness Vision Screening
Evaluates focusing, tracking, and near-vision skills needed for reading and classroom work before the school year begins.
Color Vision Testing
Screens for color vision deficiencies using child-friendly pattern tests, helping teachers and parents adapt learning materials if needed.
Myopia Control & Management
Monitors and slows the progression of nearsightedness in children using specialized lenses or treatment plans tailored to their age.
Frequently Asked Questions (Faq)
Answers to the questions patients ask us most often.
Most pediatricians and eye doctors recommend a first screening around 6 months, another at age 3, and then before starting school, followed by regular checks every one to two years.
Watch for squinting, sitting close to the TV, holding books near their face, frequent headaches, or losing their place while reading. A comprehensive exam is the only way to confirm.
Treatment works best before age seven while the visual system is still developing, though some improvement is still possible in older children with the right approach.
Screen time itself doesn’t cause permanent damage, but prolonged close-up focus is linked to eye strain and faster myopia progression, so regular breaks are recommended.
Only if diagnosed with amblyopia. Patching the stronger eye encourages the weaker eye to develop properly, and treatment plans are adjusted as vision improves.
For children with progressing nearsightedness, controlling how quickly it worsens can lower the risk of related eye conditions later in life, making early management worthwhile.
No. Exams use picture charts, lights, and simple games instead of complex equipment where possible, and staff are trained to keep young children calm and comfortable throughout.
Yes. Conditions like lazy eye, misalignment, and high refractive errors can run in families, so let us know your family’s eye history when booking your child’s exam.
Once school starts, an annual eye exam is generally recommended, since vision can change quickly during growth years and small changes can affect classroom performance.
Bring any current glasses, a list of concerns or symptoms you’ve noticed, and details of family eye history if available, so we can tailor the exam accordingly.
