every child should have an eye exam by age 5!
But what if they…
have no complaints
• Many don’t realize how they see is not normal
• May not say anything because they don’t want to wear glasses
• Don’t know how to verbalize their vision problems
passed a vision screening
• Farsightedness, astigmatism & most importantly binocular vision dysfunction are most often missed during screenings
• For younger patient, it’s often difficult for non eye care professionals to distinguish if they truly cannot read the chart or if they just do not want to participate for various reasons
have 20/20 vision
Most eye exams check to see if a patient is nearsighted, farsighted or has astigmatism. We go beyond that.
We perform Functional Vision Exams which allow us to diagnose Binocular Vision Dysfunction that can cause learning difficulties and migraines among other things
