Eye Care For Kids

We’re named after what we believe in: the exceptional, attentive eye care of yesteryear, modernized to today’s standards. We’re committed to being here for you and your family, now and years down the line, as your eyes change and your family grows.

Your child’s eyes are their window to learning, creating, and discovering the world around them which is why having a kids eye exam is so important. Vision problems in children can be subtle, but early detection can make all the difference in their development and confidence. Offering world-class care with a warm, local feel, Classic Vision Care is the leader in modern eye exams for kids for the Georgia, Atlanta, Marietta and East Cobb areas.

What Is A Pediatric Eye Test?

A pediatric eye test helps ensure that your child is on track for each developmental milestone. At your kids eye exam, our eye doctors will perform a series of tests to ensure their eyes are developing properly. These include:

 

  • Testing vision sharpness
  • Pupil functionality and how well the eye muscles work
  • Examination of the cornea, iris, lens, retina, and optic nerve
  • An assessment of how well your child can see at different distances, both for far and near vision
  • Testing focus on objects at various distances
  • An assessment of depth perception
  • Check if your child can differentiate between colors
  • Medical history

Why Are Pediatric Eye Tests Important?

Kids might not always notice or mention vision problems, which is why a yearly kids eye exam is so important. These exams go beyond basic school screenings and can detect even subtle changes in their vision as they grow. Early detection means we can address issues like amblyopia or strabismus before they impact your child’s development.

Our pediatric eye doctors in Marietta, GA are highly skilled, ensuring thorough understanding and expert management of conditions like amblyopia and strabismus. Parents can trust our team’s expertise for their children’s optimal vision and eye health.

Early detection of eye conditions leads to clearer eyesight for children. Timely intervention through pediatric eye exams ensures that potential issues are addressed, paving the way for optimal vision and a brighter future.

Myopia Management In Kids

Myopia, or nearsightedness, is pretty common in kids and can make it hard for them to see things far away—like the board at school or their friends on the playground. While glasses can fix blurry vision, they don’t stop myopia from getting worse.

With special lenses, small lifestyle changes, and regular, personalized care, Classic Vision Care can help slow myopia down and keep your child’s eyes healthy. Starting early helps reduce the chances of future issues like glaucoma or retinal problems.

When Should My Child First Be Tested?

It’s recommended to have your baby’s eyes checked at around six months to make sure everything’s developing as expected. The next kids eye exam should be around age 2 or 3, followed by another before they start school at 5 or 6. Once they’re in school, a regular yearly pediatric eye exam before each new school year will help keep their vision on track.

Common Kids’ Eye Problems

 

  • Nearsightedness: Trouble seeing things far away, like the board at school.
  • Farsightedness: Difficulty focusing on things up close.
  • Astigmatism: Blurry vision caused by an uneven cornea.
  • Refractive errors: Blurry vision caused by the eye’s inability to focus light properly on the retina.
  • Double Vision: Seeing two images of a single object.
  • Pediatric Glaucoma – A rare condition that damages the optic nerve due to increased pressure in the eye.
  • Lazy Eye: One eye doesn’t develop properly, affecting vision.
  • Crossed Eyes: Eyes don’t align, leading to focusing issues.
  • Color Blindness: Hard to distinguish certain colors, like reds and greens.

What Should I Bring For My Child’s Eye Test?

Making your kids eye test stress-free is easy with a little preparation. Bring along a comfort item to help your child feel at ease, or perhaps a small snack or drink. Bring their medical history and, if they wear glasses, be sure to bring them in too. Chatting positively with your child beforehand about the appointment can reassure them that the visit will be easy and even a little fun.
