Benefits of Eye Care for Kids

At Pearland Eye Care in Pearland, TX, we offer professional eye care for patients of all ages. Our pediatric eye care works to manage a child's eye health and vision while preventing serious eye-related issues from occurring later in life. Here are some of the many benefits of bringing your child into our clinic for routine eye care.

Benefits of Our Pediatric Eye Care

Children need to have good eyesight, especially as they get ready to begin school. Unfortunately, your child may have an undiagnosed eye condition that can affect their development and learning. Many children fail to understand what is and is not normal for their eyes at an early age. Our eye doctors will perform different tests to measure your child's eyes and assess his or her health history during an eye exam.

We may also ask about other behaviors such as rubbing the eyes and delayed eye movement. Our optometrists will be able to create a plan that corrects vision and gives your child the best opportunity to do well at home and in school. Pediatric eye care is also important because children need several visual skills to develop properly. These skills include:

• Visual acuity to read information from boards and screens.
• Accurate eye movement skills to track information.
• Optimal eye health to improve your child's ability to learn.

When Should Children's Eyes be Examined?

It's recommended that children have a comprehensive eye exam as early as six months of age. From there, children can have their next eye exams at age three and again before they enter the first grade. If no vision-related issues are noticed during these appointments, children can have routine eye exams every two years.
