It is essential to begin thinking about your child's vision early on. It is widely acknowledged that good vision plays a crucial role in a child's development, and simple and regular eye examinations can prevent potential developmental setbacks.

Be attentive to these early warning signs:
- Excessive blinking
- Squinting or scrunching up the eyes to see
- Getting too close to books and screens while reading
- Clumsiness
- Poor academic performance
- Reluctance to read
- Headaches
While there's a good chance everything is fine, it's essential to prioritize your child's vision. Detecting any issues early allows for prompt intervention and a chance for your child to fully enjoy their vision once again. Remember, it's always better to be safe than sorry.

WHEN SHOULD I TAKE MY CHILD FOR AN EYE EXAMINATION?
To prevent potential issues and ensure optimal eye health, we recommend scheduling a comprehensive eye examination for your child at the age of three or earlier. After that, it's best to have regular eye exams at least every two years. However, we are more than happy to see even small babies to ensure their normal development.
If there is a family history of squint (one or both eyes turning in) or lazy eye, or if either parent wore spectacles or had eye problems at an early age, it's important to have the child examined early. Additionally, if either parent suspects any eye problems or has concerns, regardless of family history, it's advisable to schedule an examination promptly. Your child's eye health is our priority, and we are here to address any worries or questions you may have.
