Pediatric Eye Exam
Because many eye problems start at an early age, regular pediatric eye exams are essential to ensuring that your child has the best possible vision to succeed in all areas of their life. At Seacoast Vision Care in Scarborough, Maine, we provide pediatric eye exams for children of all ages. Undetected or uncorrected vision problems can have a significant impact on your child’s academic performance, social life, athletic abilities, and overall well-being. By detecting any potential issues early on through eye exams, we can recommend treatment options to help improve your child’s vision and overall quality of life.
What to expect during a pediatric eye exam
During a pediatric eye exam at Seacoast Vision Care, our optometrists will perform various tests to evaluate your child’s vision and detect any potential problems. During these exams, we not only check your child’s visual acuity (near and distance vision) but also assess their eye health and functioning. We pay close attention to factors such as binocular vision (how well the eyes work together), tracking abilities (following objects with the eyes), peripheral vision, focusing, color vision, and hand-eye coordination.
Find the perfect eyewear for your child
If your child needs glasses, we offer children’s eyewear in Scarborough in a variety of fun colors and designs. Our opticians can help you find the lenses and frames that work best for your child.
Why are eye exams important for children?
Many parents may not realize how much vision issues are impacting their child’s daily life. Skills such as learning, motor development, and reading all rely on good vision and the ability of the eyes to work together properly. Children who struggle with focusing, reading, eye teaming or tracking, and hand-eye coordination may become frustrated and exhibit behavioral issues. They might not even know they have a vision problem because they assume that everyone sees the world the way they do. This is why regular pediatric eye exams are so crucial in identifying and addressing any potential issues early on.
