Kid’s Eye Care

Our children’s vision is important to their development. It can affect their milestones. We perform eye exams for children as young as six months old! Most American children have not had a quality eye exam. Many need glasses, and don’t even know it!

Dr. Zamberlan has assembled a video for you to see an infant eye exam. Please view it at: InfantSee video and the InfantSee website for more information on how those exams are done.

The vision screenings given at your child’s school are not adequate. They are simple exams done quickly, often by parent volunteers who were trained that morning, to get through a lot of children. Many eye problems are missed. Did you know that one out of ten children need some type of vision correction, but less than half of them receive the care and prescription they need? We recommend bringing kids in annually for their eye exam, schedule it with your dentist and pediatrician appointments.
