Exam Frequency Guidelines

Eye exam frequency for kids varies based on age and their specific needs.

Generally, infants should have their first exam at 6–9 months old. Preschoolers need 1 exam when they are 2–5 years old. School-age children should have an eye exam every 12 months.

Regular eye exams are important for the early detection and treatment of vision issues. These routine visits can support your child’s overall well-being and success at school.

Helping Your Child Manage Myopia

We understand the impact myopia (nearsightedness) can have on your child’s lifetime vision and daily routine. We can help slow the progression of nearsightedness and help your child see clearly with myopia management.

Myopia is a common condition where distant objects appear blurry while close-up vision remains clear. However, many children may not recognize those symptoms as abnormal, and regular eye exams are crucial for its early detection and management.

We offer personalized options for myopia management, including prescription glasses, contact lenses, and specialty lenses.

Our goal is to provide effective myopia control that can help your child maintain clear vision and avoid the lifetime effects of worsening myopia. Let’s talk about your child’s options for myopia management at your next appointment.

The Connection of Vision, Belonging, & Learning

Uncorrected vision issues can affect a child’s learning and confidence.

Inside the classroom, vision problems may lead to difficulty following lessons and completing assignments. Outside the classroom, vision issues can affect participation in sports and recreational activities, impacting their social development.

Early detection through regular eye exams can be crucial for addressing these issues and helping children reach their full potential. At Diamond Valley Vision Care, we are dedicated to providing comprehensive eye care for children to help them thrive academically, socially, and emotionally.

Investing Time for Early Detection

Environmental factors and genetics can play significant roles in a child’s eye health and vision development—especially for children of parents who have myopia (nearsightedness). Screen time, extensive reading, and other activities that require close-up vision may also accelerate myopia development.

We can provide you with the necessary information to create a helpful action plan. Supporting your child’s vision development starts with regular eye exams. Routine eye care helps allow for early detection of vision issues and eye conditions, which can lead to timely intervention, correction, and treatment.

Our team provides comprehensive assessments and personalized recommendations to help safeguard your child’s vision—partner with us in nurturing your child’s vision for a bright and joyful future.
