We recommend eye exams for children from the age of three, especially if there are signs of vision
problems or a family history of eye conditions.

For children without known vision problems, a check-up before starting school and then every 2 to
3 years is usually sufficient. If vision issues or eye conditions are diagnosed, more frequent
examinations may be necessary.

The exam is child-friendly and stress-free. First, we assess vision using age-appropriate tests.
We then examine eye alignment, movement, and overall eye health. If necessary, pupil dilation is
performed for a detailed retinal examination.

If a vision impairment is detected, we prescribe the correct lenses based on your child’s
individual needs. Modern children’s glasses are lightweight, durable, and designed for comfort,
making them easy to wear in everyday life.

Strabismus requires targeted treatment. Depending on the severity, special glasses, prism lenses,
or in some cases, surgery may be needed. We will discuss the best treatment options tailored to
your child’s condition.

Many conditions, such as strabismus or amblyopia (lazy eye), can be effectively corrected with
early diagnosis and proper treatment. Some eye diseases require ongoing monitoring and therapy to
achieve the best possible outcome.

Ensure your child takes regular breaks from reading and screen time. When outdoors, they should
wear sunglasses with UV protection. Routine eye check-ups are also essential for detecting vision
problems early.
