Pediatric Eye Exam in King

At Magnolia Eye Care, we provide thoughtful, thorough care for children ages 5 and up. If your child is under the age of 5, we’d be happy to recommend a provider who offers early pediatric eye care.

We strive to make every pediatric eye exam in King a positive experience. Our team creates a warm and welcoming environment where kids feel safe and supported, from their first elementary school visit through their high school years.

How often should a child get an eye exam? 

Children’s eyes grow and change rapidly, and vision problems aren’t always easy to spot without an exam. Kids may not know how to describe what they’re experiencing or might think their vision is “normal.” 

That’s why we recommend following this general timeline for pediatric eye exams: 

• First exam at 6 months old 
• Another at age 3 
• Again before starting kindergarten 
• Then every year during the school years 

Routine visits with our pediatric eye doctor in King help us catch vision issues early before they impact your child’s learning or development. At Magnolia Eye Care, we monitor for common children’s eye problems such as nearsightedness (myopia), farsightedness (hyperopia), amblyopia (lazy eye), and strabismus (eye turn). If your child is diagnosed with myopia, we can provide myopia management to slow or stop its progression, lowering their risk of more serious eye conditions in the future.

What to expect during a pediatric eye exam 

We know that new experiences can feel a little scary for kids (and sometimes for parents, too!). That’s why we take extra care to make pediatric eye exams gentle, fun, and easy to understand. 

When your child comes in for a pediatric eye exam in King, we’ll check: 

• How clearly they can see both near and far 
• How their eyes move and work together 
• Whether they need glasses or an updated prescription 
• The overall health of their eyes 

We use advanced tools to perform these tests, such as Optomap digital retinal imaging. And we always explain results in a simple, reassuring way. If your child needs glasses or further care, we’ll guide you through your options with patience and support. We also offer a wide selection of children’s glasses for a range of vision needs and personalities.
