Early Vision Assessment That Catches Problems Before Your Child Falls Behind

Half of childhood vision problems are missed by school screenings alone. Our pediatric eye exams look deeper, so small issues get caught while they're still easy to fix.

Frequently Asked Questions

Parents ask us this a lot

At what age should my child have their first early vision assessment?
We recommend a first early vision assessment around 6 months old, a follow-up child eye exam at age 3, and another before starting kindergarten. After that, an annual visit helps us catch changes as your child grows.
What happens during a child eye exam?
Our pediatric optometrist checks visual acuity, eye alignment, tracking, and overall eye health using tools sized and paced for kids. The visit is interactive and low-stress, with breaks built in whenever a child needs one.
How is a school vision test different from a full exam?
A school vision test is a quick pass-or-fail screening, usually just a letter chart. Our developmental eye checkup goes further, evaluating focusing ability, eye teaming, and depth perception, which a school screening often misses.
What are signs my child might need pediatric vision therapy?
Frequent headaches, losing their place while reading, an eye that drifts, or avoiding close-up work can all point to a tracking or focusing issue. A child eye health evaluation can confirm whether vision therapy would help.
Do you offer an affordable pediatric eye exam with insurance?
Yes. We work with most major vision and medical insurance plans and will verify your benefits before your visit so you know your costs upfront. Call 973-512-4505 and our team will check your coverage.
