Up to 80% of learning is visual. Whether it’s academic or developmental, your child relies on their vision to help them learn and understand new things. Even basic skills like walking and talking are affected by vision.

Some families think that kids don’t need an eye exam until they learn to read. The truth is that your child should have their first eye exam at 6 months of age. Even if your child can’t read, recite their alphabet, or communicate what they’re seeing, they can still have an eye exams. We have a variety of tests to help us determine whether your child’s visual development is on track or not.
