Vision Plays a Key Role in Your Child’s Development

Early detection is key to providing your child with the tools to successfully navigate classroom and extracurricular activities. 

A comprehensive children eye examination can help detect common eye conditions in children such as myopia, amblyopia, and strabismus, which can play a key role in affecting your child’s learning development.

Our eye doctors at Bella Vision in Spartanburg are here to help ensure your child’s vision is ready for success. Book your child’s eye exam today.

When it is time for the kid’s eye exam?

Your child’s eyes are changing quickly as they grow. It’s important to schedule regular eye exams to check your child’s vision, important stages of development, abnormal growth, and eye health.

 The guidelines for the American Optometric Association are as follows:

  • First Exam: Between 6–12 months
  • Second Exam: Between 3–5 years
  • Yearly Eye Exams: Before first grade, then each year until 18

The recommendations are based on low-risk or asymptomatic pediatric patients.

Infant Eye Examinations

Did you know that infants need eye examinations too? Even if you don’t suspect visual problems, it’s recommended that your baby’s first eye exam should be around 6 months old.

InfantSEE Program

Bella Vision is proud to participate in InfantSee, a program designed to ensure that eye and vision care become an essential part of infant wellness care.

InfantSee is a program that aims to provide infants with free eye examinations. At Bella Vision, when we perform an eye exam on an infant, some things we look for are:

  • myopia (nearsightedness)
  • hyperopia (farsightedness)
  • astigmatism
  • eye movement ability
  • eye health problems
