When Should My Child See a Fairwood Optometrist?

Just as you take your baby to see the pediatrician shortly after birth, a visit to a Fairwood optometrist should occur during your child’s infancy. During your baby’s first eye exam, the optometrist will check for normal ocular function and development. Provided everything looks good in this first exam, you will then be instructed to bring your child back as soon as he or she is old enough to sit in examination chair.

Many assume that their child must know how to read prior to a full eye exam. This common misconception is simply not true; a skilled Fairwood optometrist is able to ascertain a child’s vision level even without the child knowing letters (as used on the standard eye exam chart). Since children with poor vision don’t have a prior reference of clear vision on which to base their current blurry vision, pediatric optometrists work with the child to assess his or her vision, and then prescribe the necessary corrective aids.

Here at Kosnoski Eye Care, Inc., our Fairwood optometrists have vast experience treating children. With specialties in pediatrics, our doctors are not only experts in the nuts and bolts of pediatric eye care, but also love children and know how to communicate well with them.
