Preparing for Your Child’s Eye Examination
Learn about some common vision issues for kids and how you can prep your child for a vision checkup.
Steps to Take After the Vision Screening
Depending on the diagnosis, you may need to take some additional steps to ensure your child stays safe and can see properly.
Even if you have no reason to be concerned about your child’s eyesight, it’s important to bring your little one in for regular screenings with a family doctor, pediatrician, or ophthalmologist — as some eye problems in children can lead to learning difficulties if left untreated. However, routine eye examinations can help to detect any problems or concerns early on — and treat them to improve your child’s quality of life.
