Importance of Pediatric Eye Exams

The American Optometric Association (AOA) believes school-aged children should receive pediatric eye exams in Wichita at least once every two years, even in cases where no vision correction is needed. Children who require vision correction in the form of eyeglasses or contacts should receive an annual eye exam- or be examined as recommended by their eye care professional.

Preventative eye examinations are critical to ensuring our children enjoy normal and healthy vision so that they can perform at their best in both learning and at play. Early eye exams are especially important as children must have all of the following basic abilities and skills for proper eyesight and learning:

• Near vision
• Hand-eye coordination
• Distance vision
• Eye movement skills
• Binocular coordination
• Peripheral awareness
• Focusing skills
