Pediatric Eye Care
School vision screenings check whether a child can read a chart across the room. They miss focusing problems, eye-teaming issues, and lazy eye, all of which affect reading and learning.
Dr. Chen sees children from six months old. Exams are paced for kids, use pictures instead of letters for younger patients, and leave time for parents' questions.
What to expect
Age-appropriate testing
Picture charts and matching games for younger kids, standard charts once they can read letters.
Binocular vision
We check how the eyes aim, focus, and track together, the skills reading depends on.
Eye health
A gentle check of the front and back of the eye, with dilation when needed.
Frame fitting
If glasses are needed, our opticians fit durable, flexible frames sized for kids.
Who it's for
- Infants at 6 months, again at age 3, and before kindergarten
- School-age children every year
- Kids who squint, rub their eyes, or avoid reading
- Children with a family history of lazy eye or strabismus
