Why Children’s Eye Exams Are Important
Healthy vision supports every aspect of childhood development, from learning to social confidence. Many eye conditions in children don’t show obvious symptoms right away, making annual exams an important safeguard. Early detection means easier treatment and better outcomes, giving children the foundation for lifelong vision health.
We recommend children receive their first exam by age four and continue with yearly visits to monitor changes as they grow.
What to Expect
During a Pediatric Exam
Our exams are calm and stress-free, with each step explained in clear, child-friendly terms. Dr. Rana evaluates:
- Visual clarity and focusing ability
- Eye alignment and coordination
- Prescription needs for glasses or contact lenses
- Overall eye health with advanced diagnostic imaging
Parents are encouraged to take part during the exam, ensuring children feel supported while helping families understand results and next steps.
Common Childhood Vision Concerns
We often check for conditions that may affect learning and daily activities:
- Nearsightedness (myopia)
- Farsightedness (hyperopia)
- Astigmatism
- Crossed eyes (strabismus)
- Lazy eye (amblyopia)
Myopia Management for Children
Myopia, or nearsightedness, is one of the most common concerns in childhood eyecare, and it tends to worsen as children grow. Left untreated, progressive myopia can lead to higher prescriptions and increase the risk of eye disease in adulthood.
Our treatment options include:
- MiSight® contact lenses: FDA-approved daily lenses clinically proven to slow the progression of myopia.
- Low-dose atropine therapy: Gentle medicated eye drops that help reduce the rate of nearsightedness in children.
- Essilor® Stellest™ lenses: Help slow myopia progression. Offering clear vision and long-term eye protection in a comfortable, kid-friendly design.
- By addressing myopia early, we can help children enjoy clearer vision now while protecting their long-term eye health.
