What to Expect During a Pediatric Eye Exam
Our comprehensive pediatric eye exams include:
- Assessment of visual acuity to detect nearsightedness, farsightedness, or astigmatism
- Evaluation of eye alignment and movement
- Screening for common childhood eye conditions such as lazy eye (amblyopia) or crossed eyes (strabismus)
- Eye health evaluation to check for early signs of conditions like congenital cataracts
- Personalized recommendations for glasses, vision therapy, or ongoing monitoring
The Importance of Early Detection in Children's Eye Care
Children rely heavily on their vision for learning and development. Undetected vision problems can lead to difficulties in school, sports, and social interactions. Early diagnosis and intervention can help prevent long-term issues and support their growth.
