Pediatric Eye Exams

Pediatric Vision Exams


Some studies suggest as many as a quarter of all school-aged children are experiencing vision problems, whether that’s near or farsightedness, myopia, astigmatism or another eye disease. Vision problems can have a direct effect on their grades and the quality of their education. These problems might cause a child to:


  • Easily lose their place while reading 
  • Become confused by words that look similar
  • Have trouble seeing the board at the front of class
  • Fall behind on class assignments
  • Feel isolated or suffer social problems from feelings of inadequacy

 

All of these consequences are preventable with proper eyecare. Dr. Linh Dao of Lee Eyecare Centers has extensive experience with pediatric optometry and excels at helping children of all ages through the sometimes-intimidating eye exam process. Our team can help your child feel comfortable during their eye exam and ensure any potential vision problems are accurately identified.


We can help you find the right prescription and glasses that are appropriate for your child. Our optometrists can also help you understand your child’s vision issues and educate you on ways you can safeguard or improve your child’s eye health.


Don’t They Perform Vision Screenings at School?



If your child’s school does perform vision screenings – and not all of them are performing screenings currently – they are generally only testing visual acuity. They don’t detect every condition that might be negatively affecting your child’s educational outcomes.


You should strongly consider scheduling a pediatric eye exam with an optometrist experienced in treating children of all ages.
