Essential Visual Skills Assessments at Optical Effects Vision Center
Our children's eye exams are designed to be thorough and child-friendly, using age-appropriate instruments and techniques. During the exam, our pediatric eye doctor assesses various aspects of your child's visual function, including:
Visual Acuity: How Clearly Your Child Can See
Eye Focusing: Evaluating the ability to quickly and clearly adjust focus at different distances.
Depth Perception: Assessing how well your child can see in three dimensions and judge distances.
Color Perception: Testing the ability to recognize and differentiate between colors.
Eye Tracking and Movements: Observing how smoothly and accurately the eyes follow moving objects or switch between objects.
Eye Muscle Teaming and Alignment: Ensuring both eyes work together as a team to focus and interpret visual information.
Peripheral Awareness: Checking the ability to see and recognize objects and movement outside the direct line of vision.
Optimal Vision Is Crucial for Your Child's Learning and Confidence
Poor eyesight can make reading, writing, and classroom interaction hard, leading to frustration and lower performance. Correcting eye problems with glasses or contact lenses can improve learning and engagement.
Clear vision means more than just seeing the chalkboard. A child can have 20/20 vision but still lack the visual skills needed for learning. Poor visual skills and a weak connection between the eyes and brain can be challenging for children to explain. comprehensive eye exams are important for finding vision problems.
Your child’s school performance and self-confidence depend on having good vision.

If your child needs glasses, we offer a wide selection of stylish, durable, and kid-friendly frames. We provide contact lenses for teens to boost self-esteem and aid in extra circular activities where glasses might not be suitable.

Explain the process, reassuring them that a kids' eye exam is not painful and is important for ensuring their eyes are healthy. You can also read books or watch videos about eye exams with them.
