Eye Exams
Why Are Pediatric Eye Exams Important?
Children rely on their vision for learning, reading, and everyday activities. Vision issues are not always obvious, especially when children assume their vision is normal.
Routine pediatric eye exams help identify concerns early and support proper visual development as your child grows.
What Happens During a Pediatric Eye Exam?
Our pediatric eye exams are tailored to your child’s age, comfort level, and vision needs.
A pediatric eye exam may include:
- Age-appropriate vision testing
- Evaluation of eye alignment and focusing
- Assessment of overall eye health
- Monitoring visual development over time
- Clear explanations and guidance for parents
We focus on helping children feel comfortable while keeping parents fully informed.
Eye Exams for Infants, Toddlers, and School-Age Children

Pediatric eye exams help support:

- Visual readiness for school and learning
- Monitoring changes as children develop

Families from Hartland and Brighton often schedule routine exams to stay proactive about their child’s eye health.
