Pediatric Ophthalmology

Early Eye Exams

How early can a child's eyes be examined?
Any age, even in the newborn nursery. We can do a comprehensive exam on infants and also have a vision test for infants three months and older.

Examine Crossed Eyes

When is the best time to examine a child's eye after they have started crossing?
Within a few month of when it occurs. Intermittant crossing of the eyes is normal under 6 months of age only.

Routine Eye Exams

When its the best time for routine eye exams?
Between 4 to 5 years of age. Any vision problems that could affect schoolwork can be detected. Also, lazy vision (Amblyopia) can occur without complaints. If Amblyopia is not diagnosed by the age 5 correction will be only partially successful and not possible at all after age 7.
