6 months
A first comprehensive infant eye assessment establishes healthy visual development from the start.
Pediatric eye exams
Little eyes deserve
expert attention.
Vision problems in children often go undetected — kids don't know what “normal” vision looks like. Early, kid-friendly exams protect their learning, development, and long-term eye health.
When to come in
The right exam
at the right age.
The American Optometric Association recommends a first detailed eye exam at six months old — and earlier if there's any sign of an issue.
3–5 years
Preschool exams catch amblyopia (lazy eye), strabismus, and focusing problems while they're most treatable.
School age & up
Annual exams support learning — up to 80% of classroom instruction is visual.
What to expect
Exams kids
actually enjoy.
Kid-friendly by design
Finger puppets, patience, and zero pressure — Dr. Tran makes young patients feel completely at ease (parents regularly say the visit was easier than a haircut).
A complete picture
Visual acuity, eye teaming and tracking, focusing ability, and full eye health — adapted to your child's age.
Myopia watch
If your child's nearsightedness is climbing, we'll talk honestly about myopia management options that can slow it down.
Common questions
Answers, upfront.
My child passed the school screening — do they still need an exam?
Yes. School screenings check distance sharpness only; they miss focusing, eye-teaming, and eye-health problems that affect reading and learning.
How do you examine a child who can't read letters yet?
With age-appropriate methods — picture charts, matching games, and objective measurements that don't require any reading at all.
Will my child be dilated?
When clinically indicated, yes — it's painless, and we'll walk you through what to expect afterward.
What if my child needs glasses?
We stock durable, comfortable children's frames kids actually want to wear — with impact-resistant lenses built for playgrounds.
Is a pediatric exam covered by insurance?
Most vision and medical plans cover children's exams. We verify your benefits before the visit.
