We provide complete pediatric eye including screening for amblyopia, strabismus (lazy eye), and binocular problems.  Children's eye exams are very important, 5 to 10% or preschoolers and 25% of school-aged children have vision problems

According to the American Optometric Association (AOA) children should have their first eye exam just before they enter the first grade — at about age 5 or 6.  

The AOA recommends that school aged children should be examined every year if glasses or contact lenses are required, and every two years if no vision correction is required.

 

 

 

Early eye exams also are important because children need the following basic skills related to good eyesight for learning, and playing sports

• Near vision
• Distance vision
• Binocular (two eyes) coordination
• Eye movement skills
• Focusing skills
• Peripheral awareness
• Hand-eye coordination
