Dr. Bryant and Dr. Mitchell excel in conducting thorough and gentle eye exams for children. They can identify any concerns at any age, ensuring your child’s vision is on the right track. We offer *free eye exams for children under 2*. Our doctors recommend the first eye exam at 6 months, another before starting school, and then annual check-ups as they grow. Children’s vision can change rapidly, and regular check-ups help us stay ahead of any issues.

Dr. Mitchell specializes in myopia control, a crucial aspect of pediatric eye care. Myopia (or nearsightedness) is prevalent, affecting 50% of people. It occurs when the eye is longer than normal from front to back, or the cornea is too steeply curved, making distant objects appear blurry. Myopia can be corrected with glasses, contact lenses, or surgery in some cases. Children with myopia are at increased risk for eye problems later in life, such as cataracts, glaucoma, and retinal detachment. Studies show that children who spend more time indoors on near-focused activities have higher rates of myopia. Encouraging outdoor play is one way to help manage myopia progression.
