Pediatric Eye Exams in Englewood, Osprey, & Sarasota
Why Pediatric Eye Care Is Essential
Children rely on clear vision for learning, development, and daily activities. Pediatric eye exams help detect issues like blurry vision, lazy eye, or eye misalignment, often before your child knows something’s wrong.
Early intervention can prevent long-term complications and support academic success. Annual visits ensure we catch any changes early, especially as screen time increases.
How Our Eye Doctors Care for Your Kids
We use age-appropriate tools and gentle techniques to help young patients feel comfortable.
Each eye exam includes vision testing, eye teaming assessments, and a discussion tailored to your child’s lifestyle and development. We keep parents informed at every step with clear, honest recommendations.
Vision Conditions We Screen for in Children
During your child’s eye exam, we check for:
-
Myopia (nearsightedness) and other refractive errors
-
Amblyopia (lazy eye)
-
Strabismus (eye misalignment)
-
Focusing or tracking issues
- Convergence difficulties
We also evaluate how well the eyes work together and how clearly your child sees at various distances. If needed, we may recommend MiSight® contact lenses, an FDA-approved solution to slow the progression of myopia in kids.
Children’s Eye Exams Start at Age Five
We welcome children starting at age five across all three locations. This is an ideal time to establish a baseline for vision, especially as school begins.
If your child is showing signs of vision issues or is struggling in school, a pediatric eye exam is a smart next step. We’ll assess their needs and provide care plans suited for their growth and development.
