Eye Associates, The

The Eye Associates specializes in restoring and improving sight, and take great pride in our knowledge and quality patient care, as well as our involvement in the community. While parents recognize the value of routine dental care, quite often they underestimate the importance of testing their child’s vision. One in four children have an undiagnosed vision problem, and since 80 percent of all learning is through the visual system, decreased vision can significantly affect educational and sports performance. Many times, children will not complain of vision problems simply because they don’t know what “normal” vision looks like. We recommend a child have their first eye exam by age 3, and then again just before they enter kindergarten. Of course, any child performing poorly at school should have an eye exam to rule out an underlying visual cause.
