Clear, Confident Vision Starts Early
In Scottsdale, where children grow up surrounded by sunshine, screens, and schoolbooks, you can't overstate just how critical your child's healthy eyesight is to their development. A comprehensive children’s eye exam can help detect subtle visual issues that school screenings often miss—issues that may affect learning, coordination, or behavior.
At Doctor My Eyes, we take your child’s vision seriously. Our experienced pediatric optometrists provide gentle, thorough children’s eye examinations tailored to young eyes at every stage.
Why Children's Eye Exams Matter
Your child’s first visual challenges may not be obvious. Kids don’t always realize their vision is blurry—they may just squint, tilt their head, or lose interest in reading. A professional children’s eye exam evaluates more than just eyesight; it looks at how the eyes track, focus, and work together. These skills are essential for success in the classroom, on the playground, and at home.
Vision screenings at school are helpful, but they aren’t enough. Only a full children’s eye examination by a qualified pediatric optometrist can assess depth perception, eye alignment, and early signs of eye conditions like amblyopia or strabismus. The American Optometric Association recommends an eye exam at age 6 months, age 3, and before first grade—with annual exams thereafter to ensure your child's vision isn't hindering their overall physical and cognitive development.
What to Expect During a Children's Eye Examination
We designed our Scottsdale exam space to make kids feel comfortable and at ease. From playful frames to friendly conversation, our team knows how to speak their language. During the exam, we check visual acuity, eye teaming, focusing skills, and eye health. If your child needs glasses, we offer a fun selection of durable, kid-friendly frames that fit their personality and lifestyle.
Parents are welcome to sit in and ask questions during their child's exam. Whether your child is nearsighted, struggles with reading, or just needs a yearly check-in, we’re here to help with honest answers and expert care.
