Children’s Eye Exams

Caring for Your Child’s Vision Early

At Grand Lake Eyecare, we believe healthy vision starts young. That’s why we’re proud to offer children’s eye exams tailored to every stage of development—from infancy through the teen years.

Partnering with InfantSEE®

We participate in the InfantSEE® program, a public health initiative that offers free comprehensive eye assessments for babies between 6 and 12 months old.

Early detection is key to identifying conditions such as amblyopia (lazy eye), strabismus (crossed eyes), and other vision problems that can affect development.

With early intervention, many childhood vision issues can be treated successfully, setting your child up for better vision and learning success.


Supporting School-Age Vision

As children grow, their vision needs can change quickly. We recommend regular eye exams to ensure your child sees clearly in and out of the classroom. Our doctors evaluate visual acuity, eye alignment, focusing ability, and overall eye health to catch and address any issues early.

If your child has trouble reading, squints, or complains about headaches, a comprehensive eye exam may uncover vision concerns that glasses or other treatments can help correct.


Gentle, Kid-Friendly Care

We understand that exams can feel intimidating for kids, which is why we create a calm, welcoming environment where they can feel at ease. Our team takes time to explain each step and ensure both children and parents feel confident about their care.

When Do Children Need Eye Exams?

The American Optometric Association recommends that children have:

  • A comprehensive exam to establish a baseline between the ages of 6 and 12 months
  • Another comprehensive exam as they grow and develop between the ages of 3 and 5
  • Annual, comprehensive exams starting before 1st grade and continuing until adulthood

Proper vision can be beneficial for you child’s success—in life and academics. Beyond just seeing what’s in front of them at school, visual skills are needed for social, cognitive, and motor skill development.
