A Crucial Time for Visual Development

A comprehensive eye exam at Danville Optometric Group has many functions beyond determining a prescription for your children’s new glasses. The exam process allows us to check for refractive errors such as myopia (nearsightedness), hyperopia (farsightedness), and astigmatism.

Early visual development is important for your children. It contributes to other aspects of their life, such as learning in the classroom and daily activities such as playing their favorite sports.

Untreated visual issues can negatively affect that development and interfere with these crucial aspects of life.

Children’s Eye Exam Frequency

Children’s vision is ever-changing, so consistent eye exams to monitor visual development are essential. The right time for an eye exam can depend on various factors, including their age and visual development stage.

We recommend your child receives their first eye exam between 4 to 6 months old and every 12 months thereafter.

Personalized Vision Care for Your Children

At Danville Optometric Group, our team provides personalized vision care for your children.

We offer comprehensive myopia control services and help manage common conditions such as strabismus (crossed eyes) or amblyopia (lazy eye). Early detection is vital to allow for early treatment and correction.

Myopia, or nearsightedness, is a common condition that makes far away objects appear blurry. Myopia is corrected with prescription glasses or contact lenses, and our team strives to slow myopia down and prevent it from getting worse through consistent eye exams.

Prioritizing Eye Health from a Young Age

At Danville Optometric Group, we believe consistency is key to building good vision care habits. Frequent eye exams allow our team to familiarize themselves with your children’s visual development and eye health.
