Pediatric Eye Exam in Chagrin Falls
At Chagrin Valley Optometrists, our team specializes in pediatric eye care and understands the unique needs of young patients. During a pediatric eye exam in Chagrin Falls, we go beyond just checking for nearsightedness or farsightedness. We also assess eye coordination, focusing abilities, and overall visual development.
One common misconception is that children don’t need eye exams unless they show signs of vision problems. However, many vision issues in children can be subtle and easily missed without a professional examination.
By scheduling regular pediatric eye exams for your child, you can ensure their vision is on track and catch any issues before they impact their learning and development. While schools may offer annual eye screenings, these are not comprehensive eye exams, and the results may not provide a complete picture of your child’s eye health.
What to expect during a pediatric eye exam
During your child’s eye exam, our optometrist conducts a thorough evaluation of your child’s vision, eye health, and visual development. This includes:
-
Visual acuity testing: Measures how well your child sees at various distances.
-
Eye alignment and depth perception: Checks how the eyes work together to focus and judge distance.
-
Color vision testing: Identifies any color vision deficiencies.
-
Comfort-focused approach: We use age-appropriate techniques and specialized equipment to ensure your child feels relaxed throughout the exam.
-
Results discussion and guidance: After testing, we review the results with you, answer your questions, and provide tips to maintain your child’s eye health and vision. If your child is nearsighted, we may recommend myopia management to slow the condition’s progression and lower your child’s risk of more serious eye conditions later on.
