Kid’s Eye Exams in Winnipeg

By the time your child is 6 months old, they’ll have developed hand-eye coordination skills and eye movement control. Having their eyes examined at this point up is essential to ensure your child’s eyes are healthy and growing normally.

We’ll perform a full comprehensive exam and test for early signs of refractive errors, eye movement strength, and overall health.

When your child is 3 years old, please take them in to have their eyes examined. As their eyes continue to develop, eye conditions like strabismus or amblyopia can arise. If caught early, pediatric eye conditions can be treated to effectively mitigate symptoms and allow your child to live a comfortable life.

At this point, if your child is able and willing, we can use standard letter charts and other visual acuity testing to detect, diagnose, and begin treatment for any refractive errors we find.

Once your child heads off to school full-time, you should have their eyes examined a third time. Having a professional examine their eyes before the first day of school can ensure their eyes are ready to support learning.

After they begin school, have their eyes examined annually to monitor for any changes in their health or vision.
