Children’s Eye Exams

Let Your Child’s Eyes Do the Talking

There are plenty of reasons why children’s eye exams are incredibly important, particularly in their early years. One is that if they experience any problems with their vision, they may not be capable of telling anyone about it, or perhaps they will consider their impairment normal – after all, they don’t have any frame of reference telling them otherwise!

Over 80% of learning is visual, and your children are constantly learning. Undiagnosed vision problems can lead to antisocial behaviour, poor school performance, and issues with self-confidence.

Vision problems in children are common, so eye exams are crucial, as they tell us exactly what the problem is, so we can treat it.

We Go to Great Lengths to Make Your Child Feel at Home

Many children become anxious about their eye exams. Here, at Chestermere Optometry, we pride ourselves on helping your kids feel at home in our practice. We talk about the interesting technologies we use, or explain fascinating features of the human eye. Once a child is engaged and no longer anxious, exams can become fun and enjoyable.
