Pediatric Eye Exams in Mississauga


Book An Appointment

As your child’s eyes develop, vision problems may arise but go unnoticed for several reasons. Children are often unable to communicate a problem with their vision, or may not realize that they’re seeing the world differently than everyone else.

That’s why its important for parents and caregivers to prioritize their child’s ocular nad visual health, to identify any potential problems early on and prevent complications. We can help you achieve this goal with our pediatric eye exams.

At Sheridan Optometric Centre in Mississauga, Ontario, we provide exceptional family eye care services, including comprehensive eye exams for children and teenagers. Book an appointment with us today and give your child the high-quality eye care they deserve.

Detecting More than Just Blurred Vision

Aside from common refractive errors like nearsightedness (myopia) and farsightedness (hyperopia), children can develop various visual and perception problems that a basic vision screening may not detect. Optometrists are trained to identify any existing eye problem.

Is Your Child Struggling in School or With Homework?

Is your little one or teenager having trouble in school? It could be due to visual skill deficits. Experts confirm that 80% of learning is through the eyes, so if your child can't see clearly, their learning abilities can be impacted.

To make sure your child has the visual abilities they need to grow and develop properly, it's important to have their eyes checked by an eye doctor at specific stages of their development. Visit our local pediatric eye care near you in Mississauga, Ontario, to effectively address these concerns.

Why is an eye exam so essential for children before they start school?

Detecting and dealing with vision problems as soon as possible is essential for successful treatment. Some conditions are more manageable when discovered early, while the eyes are still in the developmental stage.
