Lifelong Impact Starts with an Eye Exam
Children should get annual eye exams because many vision and eye health problems can develop without obvious symptoms. Young children often don’t realize that what they are seeing isn’t normal and parents may not notice a problem until it begins affecting learning, development, or overall health.

A child’s first eye exam should happen between six and nine months, with the second between the ages of two and five, then one eye exam every year after that. If any issues arise, an optometrist will help protect the vision, eye health, and overall health of your family.
Staying focused on your child’s vision and eye health helps their ability to learn and develop.
Your Optometrist Will See You.
Optometrists provide comprehensive eye care including triage and management of ocular diseases. They examine the tissues and structures of the eye, checking for eye diseases, retinal detachments and tears, optic nerve disorders, tumours, and ocular complications from medical conditions such as hypertension, diabetes, or auto-immune disease. Since optometrists can view multiple tissue types non-invasively, they are often the first to detect signs of early systemic disease.
Without early detection and proper treatment, many eye diseases can cause unnecessary and permanent loss of vision.
