Pediatric Eye Exams

Pediatric eye exams are eye check-ups specifically for children, designed to assess their vision and overall eye health. These exams can identify problems like nearsightedness, farsightedness, or amblyopia (lazy eye) early on. Typically, they involve various tests to check how well a child can see at different distances and how their eyes work together. Early detection and treatment are essential, as many vision issues can affect a child's learning and development. It's recommended that children have their first eye exam around age 1, with follow-ups based on their age and vision needs.
