Children should have a comprehensive eye exam every year. Annual eye exams help ensure proper vision development and prevent interference with academic achievement. It is easy for many to 'slip through the cracks' with an undetected prescription masked as academic or even behavioral problems at school.

Annual eye exams are not just about checking vision; they are about safeguarding your child's overall health. Even if you believe your child's eyes are healthy, a regular eye exam will allow the doctor to view the blood vessels in the back of the eye, the retina and all associated structures. With information obtained during an examination of the eyes, our doctors have been able to detect chronic conditions such as cholesterol, diabetes, high blood pressure, glaucoma, and various retinal diseases. The early detection of these conditions can lead to early treatment and better overall outcomes.
