Pediatric Eye Exams
80% of learning is visual—but many childhood vision problems go unnoticed. Is your child struggling with reading, focus, or coordination? They may have an undiagnosed vision issue.
At Hi-Line Eye Care, we specialize in comprehensive pediatric eye exams to ensure your child’s eyes are developing properly. We detect and treat eye conditions early to set them up for success in school and life!

Glasses for Kids – Finding the Perfect Fit
Many children don’t realize they have vision problems—they assume everyone sees the way they do. Without proper vision, kids can struggle with:
❌ Reading & comprehension
❌ Hand-eye coordination & sports performance
❌ Attention & focus in school
❌ Headaches & eye strain
Regular pediatric eye exams detect issues early—before they impact your child’s development.
Look for these signs of vision problems:
✅ Squinting, covering one eye, or tilting their head
✅ Frequent headaches or rubbing their eyes
✅ Skipping words or losing their place while reading
✅ Struggling to focus or pay attention in school
✅ Holding books or screens too close
✅ Trouble with hand-eye coordination in sports
💡 Even if your child passes a school vision screening, they may still have undetected vision issues.
At Hi-Line Eye Care, we make exams fun, engaging, and stress-free for kids. Your child does not need to be verbal to have a thorough exam!
👀 We check for:
✔️ Sharpness of vision (nearsightedness, farsightedness, astigmatism)
✔️ Eye tracking, teaming, & focusing skills (crucial for reading & learning)
✔️ Depth perception & eye alignment (screening for lazy eye & eye turns)
✔️ Eye health & early detection of conditions like strabismus & amblyopia
💡 We customize exams based on your child’s age & development—from infants to teens.
👶 Infants & Toddlers (6-12 months): First eye exam to check basic development
👦 Preschoolers (3-5 years): Detect early vision issues before school starts
📖 School-Age Kids (6+ years): Annual exams to ensure clear vision for learning
💡 Vision can change quickly as kids grow—regular exams are key!
👁 Amblyopia (Lazy Eye) – One eye is weaker, leading to poor depth perception
👀 Strabismus (Eye Turn) – Eyes aren’t aligned properly, causing double vision
📚 Convergence Insufficiency – Trouble keeping both eyes focused on near tasks (like reading)
💡 Undiagnosed vision problems can mimic ADHD symptoms!

✔️ Impact-resistant lenses for active kids
