Pediatric Eye Exams in Kirkland, WA


Pediatric Eye Exams at Eye and Contact Lens Center

Pediatric eye exams are essential for ensuring your child's eye and vision health. Eye and vision care are instrumental for ensuring that your child's eyes are healthy and have no vision complications that can disrupt their school performance and daily life. Pediatric eye exams involve assessing eye-tracking, visual acuity, focusing, color vision, peripheral vision, and ocular health. Regular eye screenings help protect your child's eyesight as he or she ages and prevent potential issues from occurring. Your children may seem problem-free now, but eye-related conditions can develop over time. You can seek advice from your trusted pediatric eye doctor for your best options.

Standard Tests Administered During the Pediatric Eye Exam

During a pediatric eye exam, common eye tests performed by our optometrist include:

  • Visual acuity tests: Specific charts and tests measure both distant and near vision. The charts may consist of stories or pictures instead of alphabetical letters.
  • Color testing: The test determines color blindness in a child.
  • Pupil response: The response of the pupil is measured by shining a penlight in the eye. It is one of the ways to test an infant's vision.
  • Response to light: A child will blink in response to bright light. 
  • Ability to follow a target: The most common vision acuity test for kids. The test checks the child's ability to look at and follow a toy or an object.   

What Symptoms Should Parents Look Out for?

Paying close attention to your child's behavioral changes, physical appearance, and complaints can help you determine and treat eye disorders early. Symptoms often differ from one child to the other. However, common symptoms often include:

  • Sensitivity to light
  • Holding a book close or sitting close to a TV
  • Tilting their head
  • Squinting
  • Droopy eyelids
  • Swollen eyes
  • Red eyes
  • Frequent tearing
  • Frequently rubbing their eyes
