The internal and external health of the eye is assessed during a pediatric eye test, as well as their visual health. The optometrist will test visual skills like eye movement, tracking abilities, eye teaming, colour vision, depth perception, peripheral awareness, eye focusing and visual acuity. Be sure to bring your child in annually for a comprehensive eye test to make sure their eyes and vision are developing normally. The earlier an eye problem is caught, the higher the chances of successful treatment. And remember, school vision screenings are no substitute for the care and expertise of a pediatric optometrist.
