Pediatric Eye Exams in London, Ontario
When Should My Child See an Optometrist?
We recommend:
-
An infant screening before 12 months
-
A full exam around age 2 to 3
-
Annual eye exams once school begins
Even without symptoms, your child’s eyes are developing rapidly, and early detection is the best way to prevent vision problems from interfering with learning, confidence, or development.
What We Check During a Pediatric Eye Exam
Each exam includes age-appropriate testing for:
-
Visual clarity and focus
-
Eye tracking and alignment
-
Depth perception and peripheral vision
-
Eye teaming and coordination
-
Overall ocular health
We also check for signs of common childhood issues like myopia, amblyopia (lazy eye), and strabismus (eye turn), even if your child has not said anything is wrong.
Eye Exams Should Never Feel Scary
At London Eyecare, we use child-sized equipment, visual charts with fun shapes or pictures, and a gentle tone to help kids feel relaxed and engaged. From toddlers to teens, we take the time to explain each step so your child feels safe and seen. Our optometrists are experienced, reassuring, and genuinely enjoy working with young patients.
Support for Vision at School, Home & The Playground
Blurry vision, eye strain, or focusing issues can affect reading, attention, and even social interaction. We assess how your child’s visual system supports daily activities and, if needed, recommend glasses or further care to help them thrive in and out of the classroom.
