Children's Vision

If you have kids, from Pre-Kindergarten to College, Eye Care Associates has designed a money-saving program for you and a fashion program for your kids.

Save Money

Our eye doctors recommend that all children have a comprehensive eye health exam by age 5. It's one test you don't want your child to miss this school year.

Your children can choose frames from brand names they'll love at package prices that include the frame with single vision lenses featuring our very own Kid Proof Coating for one low price!

See any of our Visionary Associates for help on the right pair of eye glasses for your student.

Vision Problems in Kids

If your child is having difficulty with eye "teaming", reading from a distance, or with schoolwork in general, our eye care professionals can help identify and resolve any related vision problems.

Take This Simple Test

Instructions: To find out if your child may have a learning-related visual problem, simply answer "Yes", "Sometimes", "No" or "Doesn't Apply" to each of the following questions:

Does your child:

  • Perform below expected levels in school?
  • Have difficulty comprehending what he has read, or reads slowly?
  • Take a long time to finish assignments?
  • Have a short attention span or difficulty staying on task?
  • Have difficulty copying from a chalkboard or textbook?
  • Become tired after reading?
  • Avoid reading or other close work?
  • Report blurred or double vision with schoolwork or reading?
  • Report frequent headaches or eyestrain?
  • Have an eye that turns in or out?
  • Blink excessively or rub his eyes during or after close visual work?
  • Move his head back and forth instead of just his eyes while reading?
  • Frequently lose his place when reading or use his finger as a pointer?
  • Make frequent reversals such as "b" for "d", "saw" for "was" or "14" for "41"?
  • Have difficulty catching or getting a ball, tying shoelaces or distinguishing right from left?

If you answered...

"Yes" or "Sometimes" to four or more of these questions, your child may have a learning related visual problem.
