A child’s early experience with eye care can shape how they feel about their vision for years to come. That’s why we approach children's eye exams in Rochester Hills with a calm, medically thorough, and parent-supportive approach.
Each visit includes screening for refractive errors and functional visual issues using age-appropriate methods. We aim to make every exam relaxed, informative, and trust-building.
We begin children's eye care at age six, when most children can participate in age-appropriate acuity tests and respond to optometric evaluation tools. Our exams are designed to detect both refractive and binocular vision issues early.
During your child’s exam, we evaluate:
Distance and near visual acuity
Extraocular muscle function and tracking
Stereopsis and binocular coordination
Signs of myopia, hyperopia, astigmatism, or amblyopia
Many children feel unsure during their first few eye exams. Our team is trained to meet each child where they are, using calm explanations and non-intimidating language to build trust while performing a medically complete visual evaluation.
We welcome children of all temperaments and neurodiverse backgrounds. Our approach is designed to support each child’s comfort, cooperation, and long-term vision care success.

Children rarely realize they’re struggling with vision, especially if it’s been their “normal” from the start. Left unaddressed, issues like uncorrected refractive error, binocular dysfunction, or accommodative lag can interfere with classroom focus, reading, and sports.
Routine children exams help us detect:
Visual acuity concerns
Eye teaming challenges
Functional visual delays
Early signs of progressive myopia
We support early intervention with clear communication and collaborative care.
If your child needs glasses, we’ll help them feel confident about their choice.
Our optical team creates a low-pressure, positive experience for kids choosing frames. From sturdy, school-ready styles to fun, colorful frames, we help children find glasses that fit their personality and lifestyle.
