A FOCUS ON CHILDREN’S VISION

80% of learning is through vision. Eyecare Kids services are designed not only for clear, comfortable vision but to ensure that their eyes work together as a team. We’ll assess how their eyes and brain process visual information to give them the best possible vision to reach their full learning potential! Our practice has additional services with a modest fee to cover the extra tests.

VISUAL SKILLS

In addition to the initial comprehensive eye test, a behavioural assessment takes closer look at their eye focusing, eye teaming and eye tracking skills as well as screen for possible vision processing difficulties. For significant binocular conditions such as convergence insufficiency, a review may be recommended 6-12 monthly.

Cycloplegic Refraction

Certain prescription such as latent hyperopia, astigmatism and progressive myopia as well as binocular problems such as strabismus and amblyopia may require a cyclopegic refraction. Drops (which do sting a little for a few seconds) are used to help relax the focusing system and help the optometrist determine their prescription objectively. Cyclopegia takes up to 1 hour to dilate and sight can feel blurry for a few hours afterwards.

Myopia Management

For children requiring myopia control monitoring and regular review of their binocular visual skills. Regular cycloplegia refractions may be required if dynamic retinoscopy results are not stable as well as topography mapping. This fee is included in the Ortho-K program.

Strabismus & Amblyopia

For children requiring strabismus and/or amblyopia monitoring and regular review of their spectacle prescription, angle of deviations, suppression and patching regimen. Regular cycloplegia refractions may be required.
