Eye Test for Kids Benefits

There are several benefits to getting an eye test for kids. Getting regular eye exams for your child can help find vision problems before they result in learning problems and developmental delays. This is because many skills, including hand/eye coordination, reading and judging distance, rely on your child's ability to see clearly and process visual information. When your child cannot see clearly, you may notice that he or she frequently skips or reverses words while reading out loud. If your child participates in sports or recreational activities, you may notice that your child is not improving as expected. Instead of thinking that your child has a learning disability or is not good at sports, schedule an appointment with our pediatric eye doctor to check for eye problems.

Pediatric Eye Exams with Dr. Seema Mohanan

Our optometrist, Dr. Seema Mohanan offers pediatric eye exams for toddlers, preschoolers, grade school aged children and teenagers. Each eye exam for kids includes testing for visual acuity at near and far distances, eye movement, tracking and teaming, depth perception, color identification and pupil reaction. We also test your child's ability to focus and his or her hand/eye coordination.

We recommend initial eye exams at six months of age to check for proper eye development and pupil reaction. Your child should then receive at eye exam at three years of age and again when your child is five or six years old. School aged children and teenagers should receive annual eye exams before the start of each school year.
