Children’s Eye Exam

Your child’s vision is important for developing skills such as reading, writing and hand-eye coordination. Children can suffer enormous setbacks to learning if they have blurred vision and eye strain. This is why it’s important for children’s eyes to be tested by the age of three, or earlier if you think there may be a problem.
