The Importance of Children’s Eye Exams

Early detection of vision problems is key to supporting your child’s growth and learning. Many children may not notice or express discomfort with their vision, which is why regular eye exams are essential.

A comprehensive eye exam not only determines your child’s prescription for glasses but also helps our team familiarize themselves with your child’s visual needs.

Signs & Symptoms to Look Out for

Your children may not always notice that something is wrong with their vision—that is why it is vital for parents and caregivers to monitor and report developing vision issues. These issues can hinder learning both inside and outside the classroom.

Common signs and symptoms that can indicate vision issues include:

Seeing double
Frequent eye rubbing or blinking
The need to squint to see
Frequent headaches
Losing place when reading

How Often Should Children Have Eye Exams?

The American Optometric Association recommends annual eye exams for school-aged children:

First exam: 6–12 months
A second exam: Between 3 and 5 years old
Pre-school exam: Before first grade

Our team provides eye exams for children who can read letters and numbers. There are options for myopia control to help ensure the best vision possible for your child.

What We Cover During the Exam

A typical children’s eye exam at Rock optiX includes more than just checking for glasses prescriptions. We test for important visual skills such as:

Focusing ability
Peripheral (side) vision
Color vision
Eye-hand coordination
Eye tracking

We also check for conditions like myopia (nearsightedness) and offer treatments like ZEISS MyoVision Pro Lenses, NaturalVue multifocal contact lenses, and atropine drops to help manage its progression.

Building Healthy Vision Habits

We are here to help set your child up for a lifetime of healthy vision. Our team makes each visit informative, stress-free, and fun, so your child feels comfortable with their eye care. Together, we can create habits that will last a lifetime.
