Care for Our Tiniest Family Members

Children rely heavily on their vision for the first year of life, and the very first thing they’ll focus on is what they love most: YOU!

At Pacific EyeCare Optometry, we like to see your child for an eye exam when they are 1 year old. Once we have determined that their eyesight is developing at an average pace and that there are no overall vision concerns, we may be able to decide on the frequency of your child’s future appointments.

Healthy Eyes at Every Stage of Their Life

Your children must hit significant developmental milestones as they grow, and that includes their vision centers too. We would like to see them at each stage, including toddler, preschool, and school-age.

Toddlers

Your toddler’s exam includes checks for hand-eye coordination, tracking, depth perception, and color vision. Your doctor will also check for nearsightedness, farsightedness, and any overall eye health concerns.

Preschoolers

Between 3 and 5 years old, your child should have another comprehensive eye exam. In this exam, our optometrists will ensure that your child’s eyes are developing correctly and search for early signs of eye disease or conditions. At this age, children are learning the visual skills that prepare them for school. Parents can aid in this stage of visual development by providing activities like stacking blocks, coloring, and drawing. Although these tasks may seem minor, this type of play helps to improve reading and writing skills.

School-Age

Your child’s vision is an essential part of success throughout their school years. Undiagnosed vision issues can significantly affect your student’s educational experience. In some cases, untreated vision issues can even share the same symptoms as Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). Comprehensive eye exams with an optometrist can help avoid misdiagnosis and eliminate stress and fatigue for your child.
