Healthy eyes and good vision are critically important components of any child's ability to learn. In fact, 80 percent of learning is visually based - one reason why the American Optometric Association recommends that every baby receive a vision examination between 6-12 months of age. At University Eye Center, we provide comprehensive eye care to patients from infancy to adolescence, delivered by residency-trained Doctors of Optometry who understand how to put a frightened youngster at ease.

Comprehensive Eye Examinations Including:

Eye and general health history



 Refraction and prescription of lenses for nearsighted and farsighted children  Binocular assessment, including assessment of lazy eye and crossed eyes  Eye health evaluation  Visual development evaluation  Identification of learning related vision problems Following the initial exam, our staff will provide appropriate management, follow-up care and, if needed, referral to our Specialty Services for young patients.
