Experts in Children's Eye Tests
Children rarely have serious vision problems, but we recommend routine eye tests to identify any issues early on. The more quickly problems can be identified, the better chance we have to treat and improve the situation and reduce further eye degeneration. Children are often not aware that they have vision issues. If they do, routine eye exams can identify them and avoid or reduce the growth, development, or learning problems resulting from the condition. Call our office in Independence, KY, for an appointment.
