Eye Health for Children


While your child may undergo a brief vision screening at their wellness checkup with a pediatrician, this should not be a substitute for an in-depth and comprehensive eye exam by a licensed eye care professional. Furthermore, detecting and treating an eye issue early is often the best course of action to prevent small problems from becoming worse. If you live in or around Stratford, CT and your child has not yet received an eye exam, it is time to schedule an appointment with one of our optometrists at Family Vision Center. We provide quality eye care services for every member of the family.

Signs Your Child May Be Experiencing Vision Issues

There are many actions that your child may do that should alert you of a vision problem. For instance, your child may start to squint as he or she is trying to read something, whether this is a book, the TV, or a sign. Children may rub their eyes or blink frequently. They may complain about double or blurred vision or start to hold their books close to their faces while reading. Their teacher may also note changes in behavior or performance.

Common Vision Problems for Children

There are numerous vision problems that your child may experience. Some of the most common include pink eye, a stye, seasonal eye allergies, eye injuries, blocked tear ducts, near and farsightedness, crossed eyes, and reduced vision. During the eye exam with our optometrists in Bridgeport, these vision problems can be diagnosed and treated. Treatment may include medication, glasses, lifestyle changes, eye drops, and more. Each patient is unique as is each treatment plan.

How Often Do Children Need Eye Exams?

Our optometrists recommend that children between the ages of 5 and 19 years old receive an eye exam once per year. The first eye exam is recommended at 6 months of age and then again at 3 years old. If your child suffers from vision-related issues, the frequency of their examinations may increase.
