Children’s Eye Exams in Scarborough

The Key to Great Lifelong Eye Health is an Early Start

Your children’s eyes are one of the most active parts of their bodies that develop rapidly. According to the Canadian Association of Optometrists, 25% of school-aged children experience problems with their vision.

80% of learning is visual, and 20% of learning disabilities result from learning-related vision problems that stem from poor eye-to-brain communication.

At Vision Care Centre, our pediatric optometrists assess more than just sight. Dr. Ramesh, our neuro-visual optometrist, wants to understand how the brain and eyes are communicating. Our pediatric eye exams use specific measures to ensure babies and toddlers are meeting developmental milestones, and their behaviours are understood.

Eye health is often overlooked with children, but eye health and prevention are just as crucial for children as adults. We can demonstrate what your child can see but also investigate how your child performs at school.

Regular eye exams are as important as yearly physicals and dental examinations to detect and correct these vision issues as soon as possible. Vision Care Centre pediatric optometrists are specially trained and certified to provide first-class eye care for children of any age.
