Importance of Pediatric Eye Exams

Pediatric eye exams are an essential component of your child's overall health. At Warm Springs Optometric Group in Fremont, CA, Dr. Payal Bavishi and Dr. Susan Pirrone work with patients to provide myopia management throughout their lifetime. If your child has not seen an eye doctor in the past year, it's essential to schedule an eye exam. Reasonable myopia control begins with identifying the problem and keeping up with routine eye exams.
 

Strategies for Myopia Management

Myopia control helps prevent myopia, and blurry distant vision, from worsening. Young children are most susceptible to myopia, which tends to stop progressing around age 20. Strategies for myopia control include regular eye exams, vision correction with glasses or contact lenses, and an eye exam whenever you notice problems. Sunglasses will protect your vision from damage by the sun.
 

When to See the Eye Doctor

You should see an eye doctor in Fremont, CA, if your last eye exam was a year ago or you are experiencing vision problems. If your child wears corrective lenses for myopia management, you should schedule an eye exam annually to ensure their corrective lenses are the right prescription. If you notice vision problems, experience an injury to the eye, or haven't had an eye exam for some time, you should visit our eye doctor for a check-up.
