Children’s Eye Exams

Myopia, or nearsightedness, is one of the most common eye conditions to affect children and teenagers. Most cases of myopia develop in childhood and are diagnosed between the early school years through the teens. Annual eye exams during childhood can help us identify this condition as early as possible.

What’s unfortunate is that myopia can progress into a more severe version, known as high myopia. If myopia worsens as your child ages, they may require stronger prescriptions in adulthood to see clearly.

Fortunately, recent scientific breakthroughs in myopia control can help slow the progression of this condition, safeguarding your child’s vision.

Vision therapy can help train the visual system to operate more efficiently and may be used when traditional methods of vision correction fall short.

Vision therapy aims to teach the eyes and brain to work together as a team. By using movements and exercises (which can be made into fun games for children), we teach the brain how to work effectively with the eyes and other components of the visual system.

Vision therapy can help address visual issues in both adults and children. To learn more about how vision therapy could help your family, please visit our vision therapy page.
