Back to School Eye Exams

Preparations for the new school year should include a back to school eye exam for your child or teen. Good vision is essential for learning. Undetected vision problems can impair your child’s academic progress and put him or her at risk of accidents at home or in school. Routine eye exams are vital in detecting vision and eye health problems early on. At Eye See in Lincolnshire, IL, our pediatric optometrist will ensure that your child’s vision is at its best. We provide eye exams and will treat any vision problems detected.

Vision Screening vs Pediatric Eye Exam

Although most schools offer vision screenings, screenings alone aren’t enough to ensure your children have good sight. Due to limitations on the services offered by vision screenings, vision issues can often be overlooked. In contrast, a comprehensive pediatric eye exam will provide you with an accurate picture of your child’s eye health and visual clarity. Working with our eye doctor is the key to getting quality eye care for your children.

What to Expect from a Pediatric Eye Exam 

At Eye See, we offer eye exams for infants, preschool children, school-aged children, and teens, along with adults. A comprehensive eye exam for your preschooler will involve tests for visual clarity, eye health, eye tracking, color vision, and eye conditions, like lazy eye. Your older child will undergo tests for visual clarity to see if he or she needs eyeglasses to correct problems with nearsightedness, farsightedness or astigmatism.

Our pediatric optometrist will also test for eye focus, tracking and teaming skills, eye-hand coordination, and visual perception. All these visual skills are essential for learning and keeping your kids safe when playing sports. If your child is having trouble learning in school, it could be due to undetected vision problems. Through annual eye exams, we can treat these issues to restore your child’s vision.
