We provide comprehensive, compassionate care for children ranging from annual eye exams to treatment of childhood eye diseases and disorders. According to the American Optometric Association, the first eye exam should occur before 12 months of age, at age 3, before starting school and every year while your child is in school or as directed by their eye doctor. Early eye examinations are crucial to make sure children have normal, healthy vision so that they can perform better at school, work, or play.
