Pediatric Eye Exam

What Is a Pediatric Eye Exam?

A pediatric eye exam evaluates a child’s vision development and eye health from infancy through adolescence. These exams assess visual acuity, eye tracking, depth perception, and eye alignment, all of which are critical for learning and development. Pediatric exams also screen for conditions such as lazy eye, crossed eyes, and focusing issues that can affect school performance if left untreated.

Early exams help ensure children’s eyes are developing properly as they grow.

Who Is This For?

  • Infants, toddlers, and school-age children

What to Expect

  • Age-appropriate vision testing
  • Eye alignment evaluation
  • Developmental vision screening

Why Pediatric Eye Exams Matter

Children rely heavily on vision for learning, reading, and development, yet they may not recognize or communicate vision problems. Pediatric eye exams help identify issues such as focusing difficulties, eye alignment problems, or reduced clarity that could affect academic performance.

Early detection is especially important because a child’s visual system is still developing. Addressing vision concerns early can improve learning, confidence, and long-term eye health. Regular pediatric exams help ensure children have the visual tools they need to succeed both in and out of the classroom.
