Contact UsWhat are pediatric eye exams?
Eye issues aren't age-specific; 25% of kids face ocular challenges. At Advanced Vision & Achievement Center, Dr. Neha Amin LaCorte and Dr. Mary Hardy offer tailored pediatric eye examinations. It's recommended for children to have their first eye assessment by six months and another before starting school. From birth, a child's eyes undergo significant transformations. Since they're still developing, even slight issues can pose future risks and potentially affect learning. Prompt action is vital to tackle childhood eye concerns. Connect with us in Phoenix, AZ for an appointment with Dr. Amin or Dr. Hardy.
What Can I Expect During My Child's Eye Exam?
Pediatric eye exams closely resemble standard ones, focusing on eye structure evaluation and clarity checks. Just as in a conventional test, we'll examine your child's eyes and eyelids, test various muscle actions, and assess eye alignment, among other things. These straightforward checks allow our experts to identify prevalent issues, such as lazy eye, congenital glaucoma, or infections. Depending on the results, we'll deliberate on potential treatments or plan the next regular checkup.

How often should a child have a pediatric eye exam?
We recommend that children have a comprehensive pediatric eye exam every year, beginning at age 5. With the increased demand children have now placed on their vision from school work and screen time, changes in vision can occur that negatively affect your child's school success and overall development.
What are the signs my child has a vision problem?
The most common symptoms of a vision problem in children include:
- Squinting
- Getting too close, or holding an object too close
- Covering one eye
- Frequently rubbing the eyes
- Head tilting
- Eye pain
- Headaches
- Difficulties concentrating
How are pediatric eye exams different from adult eye exams?
While pediatric eye exams include similar tests to adult exams, they are tailored to be child-friendly. This means the tests are often modified to be more engaging for children, and the optometrists use specialized equipment and techniques suitable for young patients to accurately assess their vision and eye health.
