Pediatric Eye Exams at Opticare Vision Center
As their little bodies grow and change, so do their eyes. Early detection and the right care are key to unlocking their full visual potential. Our comprehensive pediatric eye exams go beyond just checking for clarity. We use fun and engaging techniques to assess their vision, identify any potential problems, and create a personalized plan to nurture their sight for a lifetime of discovery.
What Our Cincinnati Children’s Eye Exams Focus On
We know a basic eye exam might sound a little… well, basic. We take a holistic approach, looking at everything from how well they see near and far to how their eyes work together. This way, we can catch any potential problems early and keep their vision healthy.
- Visual Acuity: We use age-appropriate methods to measure your child’s vision.
- Eye Alignment and Movement: We check for conditions like crossed or lazy eyes.
- Eye Health: We examine the eye’s internal structures to detect potential abnormalities.
- Binocular Vision: We assess how well your child’s eyes work together to create depth perception and coordination.
- Color Vision: We test for color blindness, ensuring they can experience the world in all its vibrant hues.
Age-Specific Assessments
Every child sees the world a little differently, and that’s okay! We tailor our pediatric eye exams to your child’s age and needs.
- Newborn & Infant Exams: We assess for early signs of vision problems, ensuring proper development from the very beginning.
- Toddler & Preschooler Exams: We monitor rapid eye growth and detect potential issues like nearsightedness or farsightedness.
