Why Pediatric Eye Exams Matter
Healthy vision is a critical component of your child's development. Up to 80% of what a child learns in school is presented visually, making regular eye exams essential for their academic and personal success. Even if your child does not wear glasses, a comprehensive pediatric eye exam is vital to ensure their visual system is developing correctly.
Signs Your Child May Need an Exam
- Sitting too close to the television or holding books too close.
- Frequent eye rubbing or blinking.
- Short attention span for their age.
- Headaches or complaints of eye strain.
- Covering one eye to see better.
