Pediatric Eye Exams in Calgary

A child’s visual system develops quickly in the early years of life, making regular eye exams incredibly important. An optometrist can begin screening your little one for visual issues as early as 6 months old. If there are developmental delays or a family history of conditions like crossed eyes or lazy eye (amblyopia), it's best to have an eye exam in infancy. Early detection greatly improves the chances of successful treatment and normal vision development. If everything seems fine, it’s still a good idea to have your child’s eyes checked by an optometrist by age 3, followed by yearly exams.

It can be tough for parents and teachers to spot vision problems because kids may not know how to describe what they’re experiencing—or even realize something is wrong! That’s why regular visits to the optometrist are essential to accurately assess and maintain your child’s vision and eye health. Most Calgary optometrists recommend a yearly eye exam for children to ensure clear, healthy vision.
