Pediatric Eye Exam in Huntsville
Detecting issues early on is key to ensuring your child has healthy eyes and good vision as they grow. Untreated vision problems can impact your child’s performance in school or sports and even lead to more serious issues down the road.
At Bailey Cove Eye Care, our friendly, experienced eye doctors provide pediatric eye exams in Huntsville for children ages six months and up.
What to expect during a pediatric eye exam
During the exam, our eye doctor will check your child’s visual acuity (how well they see at a specific distance), eye tracking skills, depth perception, and more. They may also use special tools to assess how well your child’s eyes work together and how healthy their eyes are overall.
Common issues that we can detect during a kid’s eye exam include:
- Amblyopia (lazy eye)
- Strabismus (crossed eyes)
- Color blindness
- Refractive errors like nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism
Early detection is key in managing these conditions effectively and preventing long-term complications that could impact your child’s vision.
If your child has myopia (nearsightedness), we offer myopia management to help slow down its progression and lower the risk of more serious issues later in life. We also have a great selection of children’s eyeglasses and sunglasses in fun designs and styles.
