The health of your children’s eyes is very important; therefore, it is imperative to take your children for eye exams on a regular basis. We incorporate specific techniques and technology into our pediatric eye care to ensure accurate testing and a fun experience.
According to experts, 80% of learning is visual; therefore, any difficulty your child is experiencing with their vision can have an impact on their ability to learn effectively. While this is true for all children, it is especially true for infants.
The American Optometric Association (AOA) recommends children have their eyes examined by an eye doctor at six months, three years, at the start of school, and then at least every two years following. If the child has any vision problems, other medical conditions, or wears eyeglasses or contact lenses a more frequent schedule may be needed.
If Dr. Ahumada and her team determine your child has a vision problem, she may discuss a number of options including eyeglasses, contact lenses, vision therapy, or Ortho-K. As with any condition or disease, early detection is key. Schedule your child’s eye exam today!
