Infants

Our infant vision examinations start in early infancy and continuing through the school years. Although young children may not be able to read an eye chart, specialized procedures have been developed that allow us to measure the clarity of sight of children at almost any age.

School Performance

Many vision problems can be corrected more easily with early diagnosis and treatment. Reports have estimated that up to 25% of students in grades K - 6 have vision-related problems, which may contribute to poor school performance. The visual system matures rapidly during the first few years, and it is important to identify any problems that may interfere with normal vision development.

Eye Examinations

A comprehensive eye exam checks visual acuity, refractive status, ocular health, eye tracking, eye focusing, and eye teaming. It's important to catch any issues early to prevent vision loss or eye disease and ensure proper vision development. Learn about the exam process for different age groups by giving us a call.

Hand - Eye Coordination

We also assess vision development. Young children use vision to explore the world by identifying and directing movement. If a problem in vision is preventing adequate development of perception and eye-hand coordination skills, then early intervention is vital.
