Children's Eye Exams

At Harvey & Lewis Opticians, we understand the importance of early detection and treatment of eye conditions in children. Our dedicated team of eye care professionals is committed to providing comprehensive and compassionate eye care to our youngest patients. A child's vision is a critical part of their development, affecting everything from learning to play. That's why we offer specialized children's eye exams designed to ensure your child's vision is developing correctly and to identify any issues early on.

Comprehensive Vision Screening

Our children's eye exams go beyond the basic vision screening often conducted in schools or pediatricians' offices. We use advanced technology and child-friendly techniques to evaluate all aspects of your child's vision. This includes assessing their near vision, distance vision, binocular coordination, eye movement skills, focusing abilities, and peripheral awareness. By conducting a thorough examination, we can detect potential vision problems that could affect your child's academic performance and overall quality of life.

When Should My Child Get an Eye Exam?

Early Detection and Treatment

Early detection of eye conditions such as amblyopia (lazy eye), strabismus (crossed eyes), myopia (nearsightedness), hyperopia (farsightedness), and astigmatism is crucial. These conditions are most easily treated when discovered early, often with simple solutions like eyeglasses or contact lenses, and sometimes with vision therapy or surgery if necessary. Our goal is to ensure that any vision problems are identified and addressed promptly, preventing them from hindering your child's development.

Kid-Friendly Environment and Care

We strive to make our clinic a welcoming and comfortable environment for children of all ages. Our staff is trained to work with children in a way that makes them feel safe and relaxed during their eye exams. We understand that children may feel anxious about visiting the eye doctor, so we take extra care to explain the steps of the exam in a way that is easy for them to understand. Our selection of children's eyewear is also designed to appeal to kids, making the experience of choosing glasses fun and exciting.
