Pediatric Eye Exam
We know that taking care of your child’s health is a top priority, and vision plays an important role in how they learn, play, and develop. At iFocus Vision Center in Las Vegas, Dr. Vivienne Velasco provides pediatric eye care for children as young as 6 months old — an age range many eye care offices do not see. Early exams can help identify nearsightedness, farsightedness, astigmatism, lazy eye, crossed eyes, and other concerns before they affect your child’s daily life.
Dr. Velasco has established relationships with pediatric ophthalmologists and other medical eye specialists who refer children to her for care. If your child needs additional evaluation or treatment, she can help coordinate the appropriate next steps while continuing to support their ongoing vision needs.
What to expect during a pediatric eye exam
During a pediatric eye exam at iFocus Vision Center, our optometrist will perform various tests to evaluate your child’s visual acuity (how well they see at a distance), eye coordination, depth perception, color vision, and overall eye health. Depending on their age and individual needs, additional testing may be recommended. Dr. Velasco will take the time to explain each step of the process and answer any questions you or your child may have along the way. If your child needs glasses or contact lenses to see clearly, she’ll help you and your child find the best solution for their vision needs and lifestyle.
We offer early and later weekday appointment times to give families more flexibility when scheduling their child’s eye care around school, work, and other commitments.
Why are regular pediatric eye exams important?
Pediatric eye exams are crucial because children may not always be able to communicate if they are experiencing vision problems. They may assume that everyone sees the world the way they do or may not even realize they have an issue until it becomes more severe. Regular eye exams can help catch these problems before they impact your child’s learning ability, social interactions, and overall quality of life.
