MODULE

Children of all ages are welcome.

When you bring your child in, we recommend scheduling a time of day when your child is usually alert and happy.  Please try to avoid your child's meal time or nap time.  If you have several children, it is best if you bring along only one sibling with you.  We need your child's attention and cooperation during the examination for best results.

We have special test procedures for children, as most pre-school children cannot read the standard eye chart, or respond to 'better one-or-two' types of examination.

We have specialized computerized equipment to determine your child's refractive error (nearsightedness, farsightedness, or astigmatism).  

For children, we determine:

        Are the child's eyes healthy ?  Are there any risks for future problems ?

        Is there a problem with binocularity (using both eyes together as a team) ?

        Is there a 'lazy eye' (amblyopia) ?  If so, is this due to poor eye muscle co-ordination,   or due to uncorrected refractive error (usually farsightedness, greater in one eye).

        Does the child have normal depth perception, color perception, focusing ability, and normal eye tracking for good reading skills ?

At what age should my child's eyes be examined?

    Anytime, any age, you suspect a problem.

    In infancy if the OB or pediatrician indicates there may be a problem.

    Before age 3, even if you do not think your child has a problem.  Subtle vision problems are difficult for a parent to detect.  You child may think they see clearly, because they have no basis of comparison (they do not know how they should see).  As with any health problem, early detection and treatment is best.

    If your child passes the initial examination, they should be re-examined prior to entering school (age 5).  Many states (not Ohio) now require professional eye examination, in addition to the traditional pre-school shots prior to entering school.

    Many children develop myopia (nearsightedness) at the 2nd-3rd grade level.  Even if your child has passed prior vision examinations, we suggest re-examination at this age.

For children, as well as adults, annual eye examination is best, and recommended.
