Pediatric Eye Exams
Our team is experienced in working with children of all ages and takes a gentle, patient-centered approach to ensure every child feels comfortable during their visit.
What age should my child get their first eye exam?
Children should have their first comprehensive eye exam between 6 and 12 months of age, usually performed by the pediatrician during a scheduled well check. Early eye exams are essential because many vision issues, such as lazy eye, crossed eyes, and significant prescription needs, can develop before a child is able to communicate any difficulties. Detecting and treating these problems early helps support healthy visual development, which is crucial for learning and overall growth. After the initial exam, children should have their eyes examined by an optometrist at age 3 and again before starting kindergarten, as vision can change rapidly during these early years. At Eyeworks, we make pediatric eye care a priority to help ensure your child’s vision gets off to the best possible start.
Why does my child's vision worsen every year?
If your child needs stronger glasses every year, that’s more than a vision problem - it’s a medical condition called myopia. Myopia happens when the eye grows too long and over time, that increases the risk for serious eye diseases - like retinal detachment, myopic macular degeneration, and glaucoma. The earlier it starts, the faster it usually progresses - but the good news is, we can slow it down. At Eyeworks, we offer science-backed myopia management options - like overnight Ortho-K lenses, daily soft lenses, and special low-dose eye drops - all designed to protect your child’s long-term vision. We’re not just helping them see today - we’re preserving their vision for the future.
