Why are pediatric eye exams so important?

80% of all learning is visual, which means that if your child is having difficulty seeing clearly, it can significantly affect educational success, athletic ability, and even social interaction.

Eye exams for children are very important to ensure your child’s eyes are healthy and have no vision problems that could interfere with development, school performance, and potentially affect your child’s safety.

Our doctors recommend your child’s eyes should be examined at certain stages of their development:

• 12 months of age
• Age 3
• Before Kindergarten (ages 5-6)

Our doctors then recommend a yearly exam to continue monitoring any visual and eye health changes in your child.
