Our Wichita optometrists offer treatments and exams that your children need to keep their eyes in good health as they grow and develop.
A pediatric eye exam refers to any exam used to check on a child's eyes and vision. The exact type of exam depends on a child's age, so our optometrists focus on the needs of the individual child before they work out the possible complications or problems that may arise as a child's vision changes.
Generally, the exam provides the foundation to address problems a child may face as he or she grows. It identifies and treats the underlying complications so a child sees clearly and can focus on different tasks as they grow.
Getting an eye exam depends on several factors, including a child's age. Generally, you want to start treatment and exams at an early age to catch problems and address the underlying complications to prevent problems at a later time.
Since a child's eyes continue changing and developing during the first few years of life, our optometrists in our clinic will work with your child to provide the right treatment and strategies to encourage their development. We use a variety of tools to address problems related to a child's vision and we catch conditions early to provide appropriate solutions to correct the problem.
Treating a child differs from an adult, but it is an important part of long-term visual health and well-being. To learn more about eye exams or make an appointment at Wichita Optometry, contact us today at 316-942-7496 for our Douglas location or 316-838-7797 for our Amidon location.
