Pediatric Clinic
- Kids are our future, and thus, it is imperative to provide them every opportunity to thrive. Certain pediatric conditions are obvious while others are occult. And certain conditions, such as amblyopia, have better outcomes if detected and managed within the critical age period. We recommended children getting their first eye exam at 6 months old to check for ocular health and development. By age 3, everything else, including visual acuity, should be monitored on a yearly basis.
- As you can imagine, it may not always be easy to put a child through a regular eye exam. Whether it be attention span, comprehension, or physical limitations, special, kid-friendly equipment may be required. Also, your doctor needs to possess certain communication skills to make your child comfortable and to get the most of the assessment. Here at Aperture, not only do we recommend your kids to come in, we enjoy seeing them! It is our goal to have your children jump off the examination chair saying, "I can't wait to come back next year!"
