Children’s eyes are much different than those of adults. They can worsen tremendously in such a short amount of time or can have ocular motor and/or visual sensory problems that may interfere with learning. Staring at the “ eye chart” and asking the question, "Is one or two better?" will not cut it for children. To complete a thorough and proper eye examination for a child, extra equipment, training, and time is required.
On a guardian’s request, we can perform extra batteries of tests to complete a child’s visual and eye exams in order to assure their visual system is ready for the athletic and academic challenges ahead of him/her. These tests can rule out the visual causes of A.D.D., in addition to eliminating unnecessary medications on growing children and minute, visual reading difficulties.
If it is needed, we also offer comprehensive vision therapy programs to treat a child's visual system. For young myopic patients, we offer complete myopia control programs.
