Trusted Pediatric Eye Care
Healthy vision is essential to a child’s growth, learning, and confidence. At Fairlawn Eye Care in North York, we provide comprehensive children’s eye exams designed to detect and treat eye conditions early. Our experienced pediatric optometrists create a welcoming, child-friendly environment so every visit is comfortable and stress-free.
Why Early Eye Exams Matter
Regular children’s eye exams are crucial for identifying vision issues that can affect learning, coordination, and development. Early detection allows for timely treatment of common concerns such as nearsightedness, farsightedness, amblyopia (lazy eye), or strabismus (crossed eyes). Addressing these problems early helps your child see clearly and perform their best in school and play.
What Happens During a Children’s Eye Exam
A children’s eye exam includes a review of your child’s visual history, assessments of focusing and eye coordination, and detailed checks for eye health. Our optometrists use interactive, age-appropriate methods to make the process fun and engaging. Using advanced imaging and diagnostic tools, we evaluate every aspect of your child’s vision and eye health with precision and care.
Refractive Errors
Such as nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatisms are all correctable with prescription glasses or contact lenses.
Strabismus (Crossed Eyes)
Managed with vision therapy, patching, or corrective lenses.
Amblyopia (Lazy Eye)
Treated through glasses, vision therapy, or referral for specialized care if needed.
Myopia Control
Advanced treatments available to help slow nearsightedness progression in children.
Vision Screenings vs. Comprehensive Exams
While school or community vision screenings can catch some issues, they cannot replace a full children’s eye exam. A comprehensive exam by an optometrist evaluates eye health, alignment, and focusing ability—ensuring nothing is overlooked during your child’s critical stages of visual development.
Technology That Enhances Pediatric Eye Care
Our clinic uses advanced diagnostic equipment—including retinal imaging, axial length measurement, and corneal topography—to deliver accurate results and individualized care. This technology allows us to identify eye health issues early and provide effective, tailored treatment plans for each child.
