Expert Pediatric Eye Exams: Nurturing Young Vision for a Bright Future!

Our pediatric eye exams are designed to ensure your child's vision is developing correctly and to catch any issues early on. We follow the guidelines set by the Ontario Association of Optometrists, recommending exams at six months, age 3, and annually once schooling begins.

Early detection of conditions like Strabismus, Amblyopia, and Myopia is crucial. Strabismus can lead to Amblyopia, where the brain ignores signals from one eye, causing poor vision. Amblyopia is treatable if caught early. Myopia, or nearsightedness, can develop early and increase the risk of eye conditions later in life. Our exams are comprehensive, using advanced technology to assess your child's vision accurately.

Our child-friendly environment aims to make the experience enjoyable. We offer specialized care to ensure your child's vision journey is off to a great start.

Unique features:

Specialized pediatric optometrists ensuring accurate assessments and gentle care for children's eyes.
Child-friendly environment with games and activities to make the experience enjoyable.
Cutting-edge technology for comprehensive evaluations, ensuring early detection of vision issues.

Ensuring Early Vision Wellness: Our Approach to Pediatric Eye Care

Step 1: Scheduling an Appointment
Contact our office to schedule your child's pediatric eye exam. Our friendly staff will help you find a convenient time for your visit.
Step 2: Preparing for the Exam
Before the appointment, gather any relevant medical history and insurance information. Be prepared to discuss any concerns or symptoms your child may have.
Step 3: The Examination
Upon arrival, your child will be greeted by our welcoming staff. The exam will begin with a review of your child's medical history and any specific concerns. Our pediatric optometrists will then perform a series of tests to assess your child's vision and eye health. These tests may include visual acuity tests, eye-muscle coordination tests, and refraction tests to determine if glasses are needed.

Step 4: Diagnosis and Treatment Plan
Based on the exam findings, our Pediatric Optometrists will discuss their findings with you and recommend a treatment plan if necessary. This may include prescription eyeglasses, vision therapy, or other interventions.
Step 5: Follow-Up Care
Depending on the findings, your child may need follow-up appointments to monitor their progress. Our team will work with you to schedule these appointments and ensure your child receives the care they need.
Step 6: Ensuring Continued Eye Health
Regular eye exams are essential for monitoring your child's vision and eye health as they grow. We will provide guidance on when to schedule their next appointment to ensure their eyes stay healthy and their vision remains clear.

Common Mistakes Patients Make Regarding Their Eye Health

Vision is the most important of the five senses, as eighty percent of what we perceive comes through our sense of sight. Unfortunately, good eyesight is something most of us take for granted. here’s a list of three common mistakes people make regarding their eye health, that you should avoid.

NOT GETTING AN ANNUAL EYE EXAM
Patients tend not to get their eyes checked regularly because they feel their vision seems normal.
OCT EYE DROP ABUSE
When their eyes are uncomfortable, red, or irritated, patients tend to reach for OCT eye drops.
NOT KNOWING THE URGENCY OF THE EYE PROBLEM
When their vision is affected, patients often think that their condition is temporary and wait in the hope that it will improve over time.
