Kids Eye Exams

How old should kids be when they first see the eye doctor?

​

3 Years old is the starting point, unless there is noticeable difficulty with vision.

​

How do they do eye exams for kids?

​

Pictures and shapes are used until the child is old enough to identify letters.

​

How often should kids be seen?

​

An annual eye exam is suggested, even if your child doesn't wear glasses. Kids are covered once a year under OHIP until they are over 19 years old.

We carry a large selection of frames for kids, including the unbreakable Nanos!

All of our kids glasses come with polycarbonate lenses to help protects their eyes.

The two most popular coatings for kids are the scratch guard and transitions, however all of our coatings are also available on kids glasses!
