Pediatric Eye Exams

Why Does My Child Need to Visit an Optometrist?

Each time you take your child to their pediatric doctor's visit, they’ll have their eyes screened for vision problems. Many parents think that this is enough and only take their children for pediatric eye care visits if their pediatrician recommends it.

It’s important to understand, though, that the screenings they receive from their doctor may not be able to catch everything. They keep a watch for current visual issues, but it’s not a full examination.

A visit to your optometrist in Frisco, TX, however, does provide a comprehensive examination. These go beyond detecting current issues. They also look for signs that there could be problems down the road.

How Often Should My Child Visit a Pediatric Eye Care Specialist?

Visits to an optometrist can begin around the age of three for the best chance of detecting and addressing visual problems. Their doctor will let you know if there’s a need for a comprehensive eye exam before that time.

It may also best to take them once a year. Many parents choose to do this right before school starts back in the fall, but it can be done at any time of the year. These annual visits are a great way to help them succeed in school and in life, as it can ensure they are not suffering from undetected visual trouble that can impact their quality of life.

You might need a visit in between these regularly scheduled visits if any of the following occur:

  • They sustain an injury to the head or eyes.
  • You notice that they are squinting when they try to read.
  • They keep moving closer and closer to their TV or device.
  • Their grades start slipping, but you notice they do fine with homework. This could be a sign that they can’t see the board at school.
  • They begin to complain of headaches.
  • You notice that they rub their eyes a great deal, especially when trying to read or focus on an object.
