Eye Examinations for Children
Comprehensive vision assessment for children involves eye health examination, assessment of clarity of vision, efficiency of visual function and investigation of perception to determine if there is any need for glasses, eye exercises or other treatment or referral. It often requires more than one visit to provide a thorough eye examination for children. Vision examinations are painless and usually a fun experience for the child and informative for parents.
