Kid’s Eye Exams in Ontario

Healthier Vision Begins Early

When babies are as young as 1 month old, they begin to watch their parents’ faces as they talk. By three months, their little eyes start to focus and recognize the differences between colours.

By 18 months old, most children’s hand-eye coordination develops enough for them to build small structures with blocks and draw shapes with crayons. When they’re 2 or 3 years old, kids are usually coordinated enough to perform more advanced tasks, like using scissors.

It’s vital that these visual milestones develop on time. Having age-appropriate visual skills ensures that kids are prepared for school and set up for success in the future.

Clear Vision Aids Learning

Did you know that behavioural problems and childhood learning difficulties can actually be the result of poor vision? If your child can’t see the blackboard in school and has difficulty reading the letters on a page, they’ll struggle to develop literacy skills.

Poor vision can also cause delays in speech and language development. Younger kids typically learn to talk by picking up on facial expressions and lip movement. If they can’t see these visual cues, they might not learn as quickly or effectively.

Keep the key moments in your child’s development on track by booking an eye exam for them today.
