Children’s Eye Exams in
San Francisco

Children between the ages of 3 and 5 are gradually developing the necessary visual skills that help them prepare for the school years.

Engaging in visual activities at this age will help prepare your preschooler for reading and writing. Parents can help with visual development for this age group by:

• Throwing and catching a ball or bean bag.
• Letting their child see the words and pictures when reading aloud.
• Providing art supplies like chalk, finger paints, or crayons and letting their inner artist fly.
• Providing activities that require hand-eye coordination like block building, locking toys, and puzzles.

Your preschoolers benefit significantly from comprehensive eye exams. In their exam, our optometrists will ensure your child’s eyes are developing as expected as well as search for any early signs of eye disease or eye conditions.

Our comprehensive eye exams ensure your school-aged child’s optimal visual health. Undiagnosed vision issues at this stage can significantly affect your student’s love of learning. At Total Vision Financial District, we work closely with this age group to ensure happy and healthy eyes.

Signs of vision problems in a school-aged child can include:

• Discomfort and fatigue
• Constant eye rubbing
• Constant blinking
• A short attention span
• A dislike of reading
• Headaches
• Holding reading materials close to the face
• Losing place when reading

Untreated vision issues in this age group can share the same symptoms as Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). Using top-rate diagnostic technologies, we can catch vision problems, treat them early, and avoid misdiagnosis.

We want your child to feel happy and successful throughout their learning years. Let’s work together to help ensure their eyes stay clear and joyful.
