Getting ready to go back to school can be a hectic time. Preparing for the academic year ahead not only means getting the proper school supplies, but it also involves making sure your child is in good health. In addition to your child’s medical and dental checkups ups, it’s essential to assess the quality of your child’s vision and the health of their eyes. With a comprehensive eye exam at the office of Drs. Chandler, Davis & Wang, we can help ensure that your child enjoys optimal ocular health and clear, crisp vision throughout the day.
The health of your child’s vision plays a vital role in his or her physical, cognitive, and social development. According to the American Optometric Association, approximately one in four children are affected by a vision disorder. Although uncorrected refractive errors such as nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism are common reasons for vision impairment in children; there are also other eye conditions and diseases that can affect their sight.
At your child’s comprehensive vision examination, our eye doctor will assess your child’s visual acuity, eye tracking, and focusing skills, as well as check for problems such as:
▪ Refractive errors, including nearsightedness, farsightedness, astigmatism
▪ Amblyopia (lazy eye)
▪ Strabismus (crossed eye)
▪ Accommodative problems
▪ Color blindness
▪ Any diseases, injuries, or medical conditions that can affect the eyes
Depending upon our findings, eyeglasses, contact lenses, vision therapy, or other procedures may be prescribed.
