Eye Exams for kids?

Picture
Most children regularly visit the pediatrician and the dentist, but a majority never see an eye doctor. Yet vision is the most important sense a child uses in learning. And undetected vision problems can cause poor school performance, not to mention behavior problems.

​Eye screenings in school can catch some vision problems, but not all.
​A comprehensive eye exam is needed to check for many potential problems, including:

Strabismus (a "turned" eye)
Ambloypia ("lazy eye")
Astigmatism
Hyperopia/myopia (farsightedness/nearsightedness)
Eye movement disorders
Eye focusing problems
Visual perception difficulties
Congenital cataracts and glaucoma
.Our recommendation is for all children to have a comprehensive eye exam before starting kindergarten.
