Pediatric Eye Exams from Our Sacramento Eye Doctors

Child is excited to get back to school after taking a pediatric eye exam to help him focus better in class.

At Arena Eye Care, our Sacramento eye doctors are proud to offer quality eye care services for the entire family, including school-aged children. Specifically, we recommend at least one comprehensive eye exam annually for all school-aged children; if it's been more than a year since your child's last exam, now is the time to schedule an appointment for pediatric eye care in Sacramento.

The Importance of Back-to-School Eye Exams

There are many reasons as to why an annual eye exam is important for children. For starters, a child's eyes do a great deal of developing during these years of life. Childhood is when many common eye conditions and diseases present themselves, but unfortunately, many of these conditions do not have obvious symptoms right away. By bringing your child in for an annual eye exam, our experienced team has the chance to screen and be on the lookout for any signs of an eye problem that may otherwise go undiagnosed for years. And the earlier we're able to detect some of these common eye conditions (such as the lazy eye) in children, the sooner we can treat them and the greater our chances of success will be in return.

In addition to staying up-to-date on any changes in your child's eye health, a back-to-school eye exam is also ideal for making sure your child's corrective vision prescription is up-to-date if needed. This ensures that your child begins the school year with the sharpest vision possible. Unfortunately, vision problems (such as near-sightedness, far-sightedness, and astigmatism) can have a negative impact on your child's academic performance, especially if he or she is not able to clearly see the chalkboard, in-class demonstrations, or other important goings-on in the classroom.

Finally, your child's back-to-school eye exam gives you as a parent the opportunity to bring up any questions or concerns you may have about your child's eye health to our eye doctors, Dr. Holmberg or Dr. Patel. We'll take the time to address and answer these questions so you have greater confidence and peace of mind.
