Pediatric Eye Exams

Pediatric eye exams are a part of your child’s vision care and eye care. These exams can help you find and treat problems with his vision. At Pearland Eye Care in Houston, TX, we can make the process of visiting an optometrist on our optometry team go smoothly. Here are some things to know about pediatric eye exams.

Your Child’s School May Refer Him

Schools and community centers often do vision tests for members of their community. If your child fails a vision test at school, they might receive a referral to a pediatric eye doctor. Visiting an optometrist will allow them to get a much more thorough exam done. This can help find common issues like myopia early. If your child is diagnosed in preschool, he will struggle less with blurry vision or eye strain during the school day since he can get vision correction early.

Regular Exams Are Necessary

It may be recommended that your child should go to a pediatric eye doctor every year for his eye and vision exams. This is true for children with eye conditions and those without. If your child has a condition like myopia, an optometrist on our optometry team might want to track his progress in order to help you manage the condition. Regular exams can help you to make prescription adjustments and ask any questions you might have. If your child has not been diagnosed with an eye condition, these regular exams allow an optometrist on our optometry team to catch any future problems early.

These eye exams can also help detect eye diseases that your child may develop. If we find them early, they may be easier to help monitor and treat.

Get Glasses for Your Child with the Help of an Eye Doctor

If your child is diagnosed with an eye condition that requires vision correction, an eye doctor on our team can help your child get glasses. Treating blurry vision does not mean your child has to wear ill-fitting, awkward glasses. Instead, you can take the time to find frames that are comfortable for your child to wear throughout the day.

Eye Exams Help School Performance

If your child has blurry vision, he may struggle to do his schoolwork. Things like seeing the board or reading may be impacted if he does not have vision correction. Regular eye exams can help you to find and manage eye conditions early and make them an important part of your child’s education.
