FAQ
Children’s Eye Care questions
At what age should children have their eyes checked? +
Children should be checked before starting school and sooner if parents or teachers notice signs of visual difficulty.
Can children outgrow vision problems? +
Some visual needs change with growth, but blur, squinting, headaches, or eye alignment concerns should be assessed rather than ignored.
Do children need regular reviews? +
Yes. Children’s eyes can change quickly, especially if they are short-sighted or spend long hours on near work.
