Helping Kids See Clearly: Pediatric Eye Exams
We offer comprehensive pediatric eye exams to catch problems early and support clear, healthy vision for school and beyond.
Routine exams help prevent eyestrain, learning challenges, and long-term issues. Our kid-friendly approach keeps visits comfortable and informative for children and parents alike.
Why Early Eye Exams Matter for Children
Many vision problems go undiagnosed because children assume what they see is normal. Basic screenings at school or the pediatrician’s office may catch some issues, but they don’t provide a complete picture of your child’s eye health. A comprehensive pediatric eye exam at Acadiana Optics ensures early detection of vision and eye coordination issues that could affect learning and development.
Acadiana Optics also partners with local schools in Broussard and Lafayette to promote early vision screenings, helping children receive the care they need before vision problems interfere with their education.
What We Look for in a Pediatric Eye Exam
We assess clarity, focus, coordination, and overall eye health to ensure kids have the visual skills they need to succeed.
During your child’s eye exam, we check for:
- Refractive errors: Nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism.
- Eye coordination and tracking: How well the eyes work together for reading and daily tasks.
- Lazy eye (Amblyopia): Early detection is crucial for effective treatment.
- Depth perception and focus adjustments: Essential for learning and sports performance.
- Signs of eye strain: Often linked to increased screen time and digital device use.
Detecting these issues early can prevent academic struggles, eyestrain, and frustration in everyday activities.
Is Your Child Struggling with Their Vision? Signs to Watch For
A comprehensive eye exam can help identify and correct potential vision issues if your child shows any of the following.
- Frequent squinting or head tilting to see better.
- Holding books, tablets, or screens too close to their face.
- Complaints of headaches or tired eyes after reading or using screens.
- Difficulty focusing, skipping words while reading, or losing their place on a page.
- Avoiding schoolwork or struggling with reading comprehension.
- Covering one eye or frequently rubbing their eyes.
- Trouble catching a ball or difficulty with hand-eye coordination.
