CARE FOR YOUR CHILDREN’S EYES TOO
At Bellemore Optometry, we know how important it is to get started on your children’s eye exams. Early detection of vision problems in children can prevent permanent vision loss and lead to a brighter future for your child.
If it’s your first time taking your children to an eye exam at Bellemore Optometry, don’t worry. We have some information to help prepare you. Read on to see what you need to do before your children’s eye exams.
Before visiting our office, you should bring some notes about the following issues:
Eye health history in your family, including:
Don’t forget to take along the following eye care accessories your children might already have:
Sunglasses: to reduce light sensitivity if dilating drops are used
Once arriving at the exam, you may discover that your children need dilating eye drops so that we can conduct a thorough retinal examination. These drops can temporarily make their eyes more sensitive to light and affect their ability to focus on close objects, like reading. While that sounds frightening, don’t worry! This condition is only temporary and will disappear within four to six hours. In the meantime, giving your children sunglasses will help lessen any light sensitivity they experience.
After your child’s eye examination, our doctors will take the time to discuss all the findings and the treatment plan for your child. Our doctors and team are patient, caring, and attentive and will ensure your child is at ease during the examination.
