Focusing on Vibrant Vision
At Woodstock Vision Care, we understand the importance of healthy, long-term vision for your children. Visual challenges can impact various aspects of their lives, including academic performance. While school screenings are common, they may not capture the full picture of your child’s vision needs.
Our comprehensive eye exams aim to see that your child’s visual development is monitored, detecting any unnoticed vision problems and helping them see optimally. Book your child’s eye exam with us today.
Recognizing Signs of Vision Problems
Children may not always express vision concerns verbally. Look out for signs such as frequent squinting, rubbing of eyes, or sitting close to the TV.
If you observe any potential signs of vision issues, don’t hesitate to schedule an appointment with us. Your vigilance today can positively impact your child’s vision tomorrow.
What to Expect During Your Child’s Eye Exam
It’s common for children to be nervous before an eye exam, so our first priority is always to help them feel at ease. Sometimes it’s showing off fancy machinery, for others a soft description of what the exam involves.
Our doctors have a knack for helping kids relax and enjoy their exams, so we always start with a quick meet and greet before proceeding through the following.
During your child’s eye exam, we focus on assessing various aspects, including:
- Visual Acuity: clear vision at different distances
- Eye Focusing: maintaining clarity during changes in focus and distance
- Eye Tracking: keeping eyes on target when shifting focus
- Eye Teaming: using both eyes together for depth perception
- Hand-Eye Coordination: processing visual information and directing hands accordingly
- Visual Perception: the brain’s ability to make sense of what they eyes see
- An overall health assessment of your child’s eyes
Myopia Control at Woodstock Vision Care
Myopia, or nearsightedness, can affect your child’s distance vision from a young age. Unaddressed, it can impact both academic and recreational activities. At Woodstock Vision Care, we offer comprehensive myopia control methods, including Zeiss Myocare lenses, atropine eye drops, Abiliti 1-Day contacts, and more.
