Age-Appropriate Eye Exams by Pediatric Optometrists In New Jersey and New York
Children’s vision changes quickly and often without obvious symptoms. A pediatric eye exam helps identify issues early and provides a plan to support healthy development. We provide comprehensive eye exams for kids in a quiet, appointment-based setting that respects your time and your child’s attention span.
What’s Included in a Children’s Eye Exam
Each exam is tailored to your child’s age, visual development, and daily needs. Our pediatric optometrists evaluate current performance and track how your child’s vision is likely to evolve.
A pediatric eye exam may include:
When to Schedule an Eye Exam for Your Child
We recommend a child’s first full eye exam before starting school, followed by annual visits to track prescription and visual development. More frequent care may be needed if your child:
Visual Concerns or Known Prescription
Your child already wears glasses, squints often, or frequently mentions that things look blurry. These are signs that their prescription may be changing, and their care plan should change with it.
Reading Discomfort or Screen Strain
If your child avoids reading, tires quickly during schoolwork, or complains about headaches or eye fatigue after using screens, it may point to an underlying vision issue that needs to be addressed early.
Family Vision History or Myopia Progression
Children with a family history of vision conditions or who are already showing signs of nearsightedness should be monitored closely. Early intervention helps us manage myopia and reduce long-term risks.
Supporting Long-Term Vision Health for Kids
We help parents monitor their child’s vision year over year. If we detect changes, such as myopia progression, we may recommend options like:
- Low-dose atropine therapy
- Prescription monitoring and annual tracking
- Education around screen habits and near work
Everything is explained clearly, with a long-term view in mind. You’ll understand what to expect and when to act.
