Children & Infant Eye Care

When is the best time to have you child’s eyes checked?

Our eye doctors participate in a vision program called InfantSEE. This program offers FREE vision screenings to children 6 -12 months of age.

This visit ensures the eyes are developing correctly. Depth perception, eye tracking and prescription are a few things checked. A large prescription for their age, a difference between the two eyes, or eye turns could lead to amblyopia or a “lazy eye” in the future.

After completion of the exam, the optometrist will obtain an eye exam schedule for your child going forward. Typically at age 3, and then again at age 5 before starting kindergarten. However, if any concerns are noticed you should set up an appointment immediately.

Learning related vision problems is one of the top un-diagnosed learning disabilities among children. Call us at 614-863-1433 to set up your child's exam today
