Pediatric Eye Exams

A Kid-Friendly Experience from Start to Finish

Our offices are bright, modern, and designed with families in mind. From the moment you walk in, you’ll find a welcoming environment where kids feel at ease. Every member of our team—from front desk to optical to doctors—has years of experience working with children. We know that some little ones are shy or nervous, so we take the time to explain each step in a way they understand.

We use gentle techniques and kid-friendly equipment to make the exam comfortable, and we go the extra mile to create a positive experience for both kids and parents. It’s not uncommon for our youngest patients to leave smiling and asking when they can come back!

Why Early Eye Exams Matter

Many parents assume their child’s vision is fine if they aren’t complaining—but kids don’t always know what “normal” vision looks like. In fact, vision problems can go undetected because children often adapt to what they see.

A professional eye exam can detect issues like:

• Nearsightedness or farsightedness

• Eye coordination or tracking problems

• Lazy eye (amblyopia)

• Eye turns (strabismus)

• Focusing difficulties

​​​​​​​Catching these early is key—untreated vision problems can impact school performance, sports, and even confidence.

The American Optometric Association recommends the first comprehensive eye exam at 6 months, again at age 3, and before starting kindergarten, with regular annual exams thereafter.

Stylish, Durable Eyewear for Every Kid

We know that finding the right pair of glasses is a big deal for kids—and for parents. That’s why we offer a huge selection of children’s eyewear, including:

• On-trend designer brands for the style-conscious tween

• Flexible, indestructible frames for active kids

• Lightweight, comfortable options for little ones just getting used to glasses

Our experienced opticians make sure each pair fits perfectly and helps your child see—and feel—their best.
