Children's Eye Exams: Why They're Important Earlier Than You Think

Many parents think that eye exams are only necessary when their children start school — but in fact, early screenings can detect hidden problems that may be affecting their development.

Children often don't realize they have vision problems. They simply adapt — sitting closer to the TV, writing too close, or losing focus quickly when reading. Problems like

  • lazy eye (Amblyopia)
  • strabismus (crossed eye)
  • myopia (nearsightedness)

    can occur from an early age, and early treatment gives them a better chance of a full recovery.

    At Optom Eyecare, children's eye exams are conducted in a friendly and relaxed atmosphere, so that children feel comfortable. We also provide detailed reports and advice to parents on daily vision care at home.
