What Happens During a Pediatric Eye Exam
Gentle and thorough evaluations for kids in Needham
What To Expect
Pediatric eye exams are tailored to be comfortable and engaging for children while still providing a thorough evaluation of their vision and eye health.
During the exam, our optometrist may:
- Check visual clarity and prescription needs
- Evaluate eye tracking and coordination
- Test focusing ability at different distances
- Assess depth perception and visual development
- Examine overall eye health
Our team takes a patient and friendly approach to ensure children feel at ease throughout the exam.
Common Symptoms to Watch For
Children may not always recognize or communicate vision problems, so it is important to watch for signs that may indicate an issue.
Some common signs include:
- Squinting or covering one eye
- Frequent headaches or eye strain
- Difficulty reading or concentrating
- Sitting too close to screens
- Trouble with hand-eye coordination
- Avoiding reading or near work
If your child shows any of these symptoms, a comprehensive eye exam can help identify the cause and provide appropriate solutions.

AnnaMarie
Teen Appointment
Our teens both had great experiences being fitted for glasses and contacts. It’s a beautiful space and everyone is so friendly. It’s nice to be able to have our family’s eye care being taken care of by a small, local business instead of a big corporation.
