Back to school time is a great time for your child to get a comprehensive eye exam. Whether it's their first eye exam or they are a seasoned pro, seeing an eye doctor for a pediatric eye exam this time of year will ensure your child's visual system is optimized for learning as the school year begins. Getting an eye exam also helps to find any eye problems early so that they can be treated. At Arena Eye Care Optometry in Sacramento, CA, our optometrists, Dr. Krister L Holmberg and Dr. Shephali Patel, provide eye exams and other eye care services to ensure that your child's vision is at its best.

Back to School Glasses

Starting the school year without an updated glasses prescription often means that a child will have to try to see with last year's prescription…. or no glasses at all. That can mean a lot of squinting and eye strain. Most children who need glasses or whose glasses prescription has changed are unaware of that need. And, even if they are aware, it is common for them to not be able to communicate that to you effectively. Children may get headaches, and their eyes can be painful from all the straining to see well. Not being able to see well is frustrating for kids, and it can lead to lower grades. When your child can't see the board or the teacher clearly, some lessons will simply be missed. To avoid all of this frustration, get your child a pediatric eye exam before the school year begins.

New Glasses

Starting out the school year with a new pair of glasses is often exciting for kids. They can rock a new pair of frames that look great and will help them to see everything going on in the classroom.
