When your child gets his or her routine eye exam, we are able to pinpoint any symptoms, make a diagnosis, and start treatment....before any issue turns into something serious. The routine eye exam is also a great way to get reassurance that your son or daughter is taking proper care of their eye health!
When Should a Child's First Eye Exam Be?
Actually, at Kirman Eye, we recommend kids getting their first eye exam between 6 and 12 months of age. After this visit, we then suggest exams at age 3 and age 5 (or yearly if needed).Furthermore, Kirman Eye actively participates in the InfantSEE Program, which allows babies from 6 months to 12 months old obtain a free eye exam.

Eye Exams & Eyewear for Kids
It is always best to catch problems before they become something serious. During the exam, if we find an area of concern, we commonly detect and diagnose eye problems using the Optomap Retinal Exam for Kids.As a result of the eye exam, if your son or daughter needs corrective lenses, prescription lenses, sunglasses, or safety eyewear, we have several kid's eyewear selections in our optical boutique! One of our trained optical boutique team members can help you and your child determine eye care needs and eyewear styles.
To take care of your kid's vision the best way possible, be sure to schedule regular optometry exams. Our friendly, caring doctors are passionate about eye care...call us today!
