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.
