Children’s Eye Exams in Toronto

Signs of a Vision Problem

Regular eye exams are important for checking your child’s overall eye health. Signs of a vision problem include:

• Headaches
• Blurry vision
• Rubbing their eyes often
• Frequent blinking

One or more of those signs may indicate there is an underlying eye condition that needs to be diagnosed by an optometrist.

Vision issues such as strabismus (crossed eyes) and amblyopia (lazy eye) can also develop early and must be addressed. Children’s vision issues can sometimes be misdiagnosed as behavioural issues, so getting a clear diagnosis is important.

Myopia Management for Your Child

Myopia is a common condition that affects kids and can progress over time into adulthood, potentially leading to other vision problems. It’s important for parents with children affected by myopia to take action and manage the condition to reduce the risk of its progression into adulthood. 

Our team can help your family enjoy long-term clear vision. An eye exam can help identify myopia early, and myopia control methods can help slow its progression. 

Myopia doesn’t just affect children. Teens and young adults can also benefit from treatment. Learn how myopia control can help as your child ages.
