The Pediatric Eye Exam

A pediatric eye exam checks your child's vision and eye health to identify issues like nearsightedness, farsightedness, or eye coordination problems. The eye doctor uses special instruments to examine the eyes, test their strength, and look for any signs of disease or vision problems. The exam may include various tests such as looking at eye movements, checking how well the eyes focus together, and assessing visual clarity. Early detection of eye issues is important to prevent problems that could affect learning or development. The process is tailored to be comfortable and appropriate for your child's age.
