Pediatric Eye Exams in Washington, D.C., Chevy Chase, MD, & Arlington, VA
Your child deserves only the best care – and at Washington Eye Doctors, we’re your local, family-friendly home of personalized pediatric eye exams. Our optometrists are here to set your little one up for a lifetime of healthy eyes and clear vision.
What is a Pediatric Eye Exam?
Pediatric eye exams are an essential part of your child’s routine care: they do far more than simply update your child’s vision prescription. Our pediatric optometrists check for age-specific conditions, proper growth and development, and more. We make sure to use child-friendly technology so your little one is comfortable throughout the process. Even young toddlers can benefit from pediatric eye care with us – we’re happy to see children as young as three years old!
Why Are Routine Eye Exams Important for Children?
Your child’s eyes are growing and changing at a rapid pace — and annual pediatric eye exams are the best way to make sure they’re healthy and seeing clearly. These establish a baseline for us to monitor their future eye health, and react quickly to any concerns. We also use exams to check for age-related conditions like myopia, amblyopia, and strabismus which may cause trouble learning at school – sight is essential to proper growth, development, and learning at this crucial time!
Treatments for Children’s Eyes
In the age of increased screen usage, it’s no surprise that more and more children develop dry eye and myopia (nearsightedness). We have myopia management that not only slows the progression of nearsightedness for a lifetime of better vision, it also protects against future eye diseases. And if your child has dry eye that scratches, itches, and makes their life more difficult, we have solutions that treat the root cause for both immediate and long-lasting relief.
Child-Friendly Eyewear
When you bring your child to our office, you’ll love what we have in store: we carry expressive frames your kids will love to wear, which also keep their vision clear and can stand up to your child’s busy, bumpy days. Of course, we know that kids can play rough, which is why we’re always proud to let you know about our one-year warranty – we’ll cover any manufacturer defects, scratches, or other issues for 12 months after purchase!
