Eye Exam Frequency

Regular eye exams are important for children’s vision. Infants should have their first eye exam at 6 months, preschoolers at age 3, and again before they start elementary school.

School-age kids (6 to 19 years) should have annual eye exams to monitor development.

However, some children—those with a family history of eye conditions, premature birth, or developmental delays—may need more frequent exams.

Lifestyle Tips to Support Kids’ Vision

There are many ways you can help protect your kids’ vision. We understand managing screen time for kids is easier said than done in today’s world. We recommend following the 20-20-20 rule: every 20 minutes, have your child take a break from the screen to look at something 20 feet away for 20 seconds. This can help prevent eye strain and reduce the risk of developing other eye conditions.

Spending time outdoors and getting exposure to natural light are essential for your child’s eye development. Sunglasses are helpful to protect eyes from harmful UV rays and safety glasses help prevent injuries during sports.

A nutritious diet rich in fruits, vegetables, and whole grains also plays a role in healthy eyes.

How Vision Impacts Learning & Development

A child’s vision impacts all areas of life, especially learning and development. Vision problems can affect a child’s ability to see the board during class, read textbooks, or participate in certain activities. Untreated vision problems can also lead to headaches, eye strain, and even behavioural issues.

We know every parent wants their children to live full and enriched lives. Regular eye exams can help identify and address any vision concerns early on. Like you, we want to protect your kids’ eye health so they can have a strong foundation for success in school and beyond.

Myopia Control: Protecting Your Nearsighted Child’s Vision

Myopia, or nearsightedness, is a very common eye condition in which objects up close appear clear but distant objects are blurry. Myopia is easily identified in your child’s comprehensive eye exam.

While myopia can be corrected with glasses or contact lenses, it often continues to develop as your child grows. With myopia control, we can slow the progression of your child’s myopia. This not only means their prescription may change less frequently, but also can protect them against a higher risk of certain eye conditions that are associated with myopia.
