At Dr. Zargar Eyecare, we do everything possible to protect your child’s eyes and vision.
Studies have shown that 80% of what children learn comes through their visual system. This means that if your child’s vision is compromised, it could hinder their development during their formative years.
We believe in giving kids the visual tools to learn successfully. Book a children’s eye exam with us today.
Sometimes, it can be hard to tell. After all, young children cannot always effectively communicate when something is wrong. At our eye clinic, we understand that children may not know how to voice their vision problems.
That is why, as parents, it is vital to pay attention and have regular eye exams for your kids. If you notice your children frequently doing the following, it could mean they have a problem:
These symptoms can sometimes be suggestive of larger issues, which could benefit from our vision therapy services.
It is important to book an eye appointment for your child if you notice any of the above behaviors.
At our children’s eye clinic, Our optometrists understand how the eye grows and what to look for in every stage of development. Therefore it is important to have your children examined at these critical stages:
Your child should undergo their first optometric eye exam between the ages of 6 and 9 months. At this time, we will check basic eye health and ensure your child is developing hand-eye coordination and depth perception.
Your child’s second exam should be scheduled between the ages of 2 and 5 years. At this time, we will assess eye health and determine whether your child can properly focus their vision both up close and at a distance. We will also test their binocular vision and test for any signs of strabismus (crossed eyes) and amblyopia (lazy eye).
From the ages of 6 to 19, we recommend children have their eyes examined on an annual basis. In this age group, myopia (nearsightedness) is common, and many children are prescribed eyeglasses or contact lenses to correct refractive disorders. Other tests include tests for eye alignment and depth perception, as well as ocular health testing.
