Helping Your Child Grow Confidently
Clear, healthy vision is essential to a child’s growth and development. Children’s eyes grow and change quickly, making early and regular exams crucial. We recommend a comprehensive exam at 6 months, between 1 and 3, before starting school, and annually after that.
These regular checkups help us detect and address vision issues before they affect learning or daily activities. Even if your child seems to see well, some eye conditions don’t show obvious symptoms.
By starting early, we can give kids the clear vision they need to learn, play, and thrive. Book a pediatric eye exam with us today!
The Link Between
Vision & Development
The majority of learning in the classroom is visual. When a child struggles to see clearly, it can impact reading, attention, coordination, and even self-esteem.
Vision problems may sometimes look like behavioural or learning difficulties when the root issue is eye-related. Eye exams give us the opportunity to detect concerns and support your child’s development, academic success, social growth, and everyday confidence.
Protecting Your Child’s Vision
with Myopia Control
Myopia, or nearsightedness, is becoming increasingly common in children. It causes distant objects to appear blurry, which can make it harder to see the board at school or participate in activities.
Progressive myopia increases the risk of serious eye diseases later in life. At Advanced EyeCare Center P.C., we offer myopia control options, like specialized contact lenses, eye drops, and treatment plans that help slow its progression.
Addressing myopia early helps preserve your child’s long-term eye health while giving them the clarity they need today.
Amblyopia & Other
Common Concerns
Amblyopia, also known as “lazy eye,” occurs when one eye develops differently from the other, resulting in reduced vision if left untreated. Because amblyopia may not cause obvious symptoms, early detection through exams is essential.
Other refractive errors, like farsightedness, astigmatism, and nearsightedness, are also common in children. Left uncorrected, they can affect school performance and daily activities. Regular exams can identify these issues early and provide solutions that support clear vision during critical developmental years.
Vision Therapy for Children
Sometimes, clear eyesight isn’t enough. Children also need their eyes to work together effectively. Vision therapy is a personalized, non-surgical program designed to improve visual skills such as eye coordination, tracking, focusing, and processing.
These skills are essential for reading, sports, and classroom learning. If a child struggles with frequent headaches, difficulty concentrating, or skips words while reading, vision therapy may help. We’ll create tailored therapy plans that strengthen visual function, supporting academic success and everyday comfort.
Eyewear & Contact Lenses for Kids
Our in-house optical shop offers eyewear designed for children. We have durable, comfortable, and stylish options in a variety of shapes and colors.
Glasses are more than just a medical device. They’re part of a child’s identity and self-expression. Our team will help your child find the right fit, a combination of practical and fun.
Contact lenses can be a safe and effective option for children who are active or don’t want glasses. With the right guidance, many kids are capable of wearing and caring for lenses responsibly.
