Children's Eye Exams
Young children are not always able to communicate when something is wrong, therefore Drs Naylor and Murdoch recommend having their eyes checked at 6-12 months and again at 3 years of age with yearly appointments following.
If you are noticing any of the following they should be seen by an Optometrist:
- Frequent squinting
- Rubbing eyes often
- Sitting close to the television
- Avoiding close up activities like reading
- Holding books close to their face
- Frequent headaches
- Complaining of double vision
- Covering one eye at a time while looking at things
- Tilting their head to one side
- Misaligned eye
If you suspect that your child may have vision problems, please call and book an appointment. Children under the age of 18 are covered under the Saskatchewan Health Card yearly.
