Pediatric Eye Exam in Des Plaines, IL

Back to School Eye Exam

An eye exam before your child goes back to school is the perfect time to ensure his or her proper eye health. A routine pediatric eye exam checks your child's vision and catches problems many in-school vision screenings often miss. In addition, children benefit greatly by visiting their pediatric optometrist every year, especially regarding their vision and success in school. Our optometry staff at Des Plaines Eye Care understand the importance of your child's vision and are ready to provide the care he or she needs before returning to school in the fall.

Importance of Pediatric Eye Exams

Students have difficulty learning when suffering from blurry vision, so scheduling your child for a back-to-school eye exam with our eye doctor is essential. Our pediatric optometrist will conduct a comprehensive eye exam, ensuring your child's vision is ready for school. Your child's comprehensive pediatric eye exam should include a series of tests, including vision tests, ocular evaluations, and eye health assessments. 

Benefits of a Back to School Eye Exam

A pediatric eye exam helps ensure your child has clear vision before starting the new school year. Other benefits of a back-to-school eye exam include diagnosing any conditions, such as myopia and digital eye strain. We also check your child's overall eye health and wellness. Proper vision makes it easier for your child to pay attention in school, stay more focused, and concentrate on learning. 

Myopia Control

Myopia is a common eye condition when the eye is longer from front to back, or the cornea is steeply curved. Those with the condition experience blurry distant vision, which can be corrected with eyeglasses, contacts, or surgery. Our eye doctor can diagnose myopia in children during a routine back-to-school eye exam. Though myopia cannot be reversed, it can be treated to prevent it from worsening. Once diagnosed, our pediatric optometrist can suggest the best course of action to manage your child's condition.
