Frequently Asked Questions
If my child passes a school vision screening, do they still need a comprehensive eye exam?
Yes. Vision screenings are a basic check, but a comprehensive exam by a Pediatric Eye Doctor provides a more thorough assessment of vision and eye health.
What are the signs my child might have a vision problem?
Watch for frequent squinting or tilting the head, holding objects very close, rubbing eyes, headaches, eye redness or tearing, or difficulty in school. Other indicators include difficulty with eye-hand-body coordination, avoiding close-up activities like coloring or puzzles, and abnormal eye alignment or movement
My child's nearsightedness (myopia) is getting worse every year. Is there a way to slow its progression?
Yes, the progression of myopia can be delayed or stopped during childhood through various treatments, including specific types of contact lenses and/or eye drops. We have a Myopia Management specialist you can consult with to discuss options to slow down the progression of myopia in your child.
At what age can children wear contact lenses?
Children can be candidates for contact lenses at various ages, depending on their maturity, responsibility, and specific vision needs. Consult with our Pediatrics eye doctor to determine if contact lenses are a suitable option for your child.
How does screen time affect children's eyes?
Extended screen time can contribute to digital eye strain (dry eyes, blurry vision, headaches) and may be linked to the development and progression of myopia. Limiting screen time and encouraging breaks are important.
Does my child need protective eyewear during sports?
Eye injuries are a significant concern, and protective eyewear made with shatterproof plastic (polycarbonate lenses) can prevent up to 90% of pediatric eye injuries during sports and other activities.
Support Your Child's Vision, Learning, and Development with Pediatric Eye Care
Pediatric eye care focuses on the unique eye health and vision needs of children, from infancy through adolescence. It's crucial for identifying and addressing issues early that could potentially affect a child's development, learning, and overall well-being.
Regular comprehensive eye exams and vision screenings are conducted at key developmental stages to monitor vision development and detect potential problems early. These are more thorough than typical school screenings. A recommended schedule is to have a comprehensive baseline exam between 6 and 12 months, another between 3 and 5 years, and then annually starting before first grade.
