Frequently Asked Questions

No problem at all. Eye exams for younger children are designed with this in mind. Doctors use fun, kid-friendly tools like shapes, pictures, or lights to check their vision. Your child doesn’t need to know letters to have a thorough and accurate exam—it’s all about making the experience easy and enjoyable for them.

Definitely. Our team is experienced in working with kids of all ages and knows how to make them feel comfortable and engaged. We’re here to ensure your child’s eye exam is stress-free and even enjoyable.

Typical signs of vision problems in kids include squinting, sitting too close to screens, frequent eye rubbing, or complaining of headaches. You might also notice clumsiness, trouble reading, or avoiding activities that require seeing things up close or far away.

Contact lenses offer better peripheral vision and freedom of movement, but protective eyewear is crucial for preventing eye injuries. We carry impact-resistant eyewear that is perfect for your sports-loving child.

The doctor will guide your child through simple and interactive steps to check their vision, eye alignment, and overall eye health. Using kid-friendly tools and games, they’ll ensure your child feels comfortable and even has a little fun while their eyes are being checked.

A typical kids’ eye exam takes about 30 minutes to one hour. The doctor will take their time to ensure a thorough and positive experience while keeping everything as smooth and efficient as possible.
