Healthy Vision Starts with Regular Eye Exams

Toddlers (1 to 2 Years Old)

Your child hits several critical visual milestones in the first years of their life as they slowly learn to use their eyes.

At Crum Optometric Group, we would ideally like to meet our youngest patients shortly after their first birthdays. Our optometrists will check your child’s depth perception, hand-eye coordination, and tracking, test for nearsightedness, farsightedness, and assess their overall eye health during this first exam.

Preschoolers (3 to 5 Years Old)

At Crum Optometric Group, we provide early childhood eye exams to ensure your child’s eyesight develops as expected. Parents can help boost their preschooler’s visual skills by providing activities like stacking toys, locking toys, drawing, and coloring.

Supported visual play allows your child to develop essential visual skills in preparation for elementary school.

Transitioning to full school days can be a massive change for our smallest family members, so let’s ensure that their eyes are happy and healthy!

School-Aged Children (6 to 18 Years Old)

Your child’s visual health can affect their happiness and performance at school. So routine eye exams are a powerful support tool for our school-aged children.

Some visual disorders can mimic the symptoms of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). And untreated visual health issues can result in unnecessary stress and fatigue, affecting your child’s schoolwork, productivity, and attention span.

Signs of a vision problem in your school-aged child include:

Complaining of fatigue
Frequent eye rubbing
Short attention span
Avoiding reading
Complaining of headaches
Reading materials held close to the face
Eye turning in or out
Losing their place when reading
Difficulty remembering what they read

Your child requires many different abilities to succeed at school, and healthy vision is an integral part of that puzzle. Our optometrists provide individualized care for our young patients and work hard to support your child’s healthy eyesight for many years to come.

Hip-Hip-Hooray for Healthy Eyes!

Our children need an experienced team in their early years, and at Crum Optometric Group, we’re always in your corner!
