Comprehensive Children's Eye Exams

A big part of every exam is determining what prescription your child may need (their visual acuity). We can do this in various ways, but some of the most common tools we use include the Snellen eye chart and phoropter machine.

After determining your child’s prescription, we will move on to screening for eye diseases.

Many eye diseases can develop without symptoms for quite a long time, but eventually, they can lead to permanent vision loss. It’s important to catch these issues early, so we include fully comprehensive eye disease screenings with every eye exam.

While many eye conditions occur with age, it is still possible for a child to develop one without knowing it. During an eye exam, we will take a detailed look at your child’s ocular health using cutting-edge technology that examines high-risk areas for eye disease, including the retina, the macula, the optic nerve, and more.

At the end of the eye exam, we will have a conversation with you and your child about our findings. Depending on what your child may need, we can provide a strategy for managing their particular issues, such as prescribing medications or recommending glasses.

We will also consider your child’s comfort and lifestyle to ensure they can live their life while wearing glasses or undergoing treatment for eye problems.
