Maintaining proper vision is important for your child to succeed in school and extracurricular activities. Poor vision may result in underperformance in tasks that affect a child’s safety and learning abilities.

A pediatrician or a school nurse will have a harder time conducting a proper vision screening for your child without the proper tools. This is why seeing an optometrist is the best choice when your child needs a comprehensive eye exam. A thorough eye exam is necessary to detect and treat vision problems as soon as they occur.

Pediatric eye exams for children of all ages are performed by an optometrist (not a technician) at all Heartland Vision locations.
