What to Expect from a Comprehensive Eye Exam for Kids

At Maine Optometry, we believe every child deserves comfortable, comprehensive vision care. Whether it’s their first visit or a routine check-up, we make sure the process is smooth, informative, and even a little fun.

Pediatric Exams vs. Basic Screenings

A comprehensive pediatric exam includes:

  • Visual acuity testing
  • Eye alignment checks
  • Depth perception tests
  • Prescription determination (refraction)
  • Eye health evaluation using advanced imaging

These tools help us detect early signs of nearsightedness, astigmatism, or eye muscle issues.

Why Annual Exams Matter

Even if your child sees “fine,” things can change fast. Regular exams help us:

  • Track prescription changes
  • Catch developing conditions
  • Monitor overall eye health

And if your child wears glasses or contacts, these appointments are essential for staying current with their vision needs.
