Kids Eye Exams

Eye Exams for Children of All Ages

Eye Pros provides kids eye exams for children of all ages in a welcoming and family-friendly environment.

Most of our doctors see children starting around age 4-5, and select providers are available to see younger children when needed. Our team uses gentle, age-appropriate techniques to help children feel comfortable during their visit.

Why Eye Exams Are Important for Children

Children often assume their vision is normal because they don’t know any different. Vision problems can affect learning, reading, and everyday activities without always being obvious.

Regular eye exams help detect issues early and ensure children have the visual skills needed for school, sports, and daily life.

Vision Milestones

Infants (6-12 months)
Basic screening of eye alignment and development

Toddlers (around age 3)
Evaluation for early vision problems and coordination

School-age children (5+ years)
Annual exams help ensure clear vision for learning and activities

Eye Exams for Children Who Can’t Read Yet

Many parents wonder if their child is too young for an eye exam.

Our doctors use testing methods designed for young children that rely on shapes, pictures, and lights instead of letters. This allows us to evaluate vision even in children who cannot yet read.

Signs Your Child May Have a Vision Problem

Children may not realize their vision isn’t clear. Parents should watch for signs such as:

• Squinting frequently
• Sitting very close to screens or books
• Complaints of headaches or tired eyes
• Covering one eye
• Difficulty focusing on schoolwork
• Trouble with hand-eye coordination

If you notice any of these signs, an eye exam can help determine whether vision may be affecting your child’s daily activities.

Family-Friendly Care

Eye Pros is designed to serve the whole family. Our doctors and staff work to create a comfortable experience for children during their visit.

We take extra time when needed, use age-appropriate communication, and help children feel relaxed throughout the exam process. Many families choose to schedule appointments together for added convenience.
