The visit often begins with several eye tests that help the eye doctor determine their vision level:
Vision test: This measures how well kids see from a distance, using the chart with letters your child has to read off. A toddler vision test will use shapes instead of numbers.
Eye movement: The doctor tells the patient to keep their eye on the doctor’s finger, which they move around to test the child’s peripheral and other types of vision.
Pupil test: The doctor directs a bright light in the child’s eye to see if their pupil responds correctly.
