Vision Care for All Ages
Vision care spans all ages, and at Oxford Optometry, we offer comprehensive pediatric eye exams for your children to deliver a personalized approach to vision care.
Our goal is to instill good, consistent vision care habits in your children from a young age to preserve their vision and overall health.
Our team of pediatric optometrists at Oxford Optometry is looking forward to helping your children through their visual journey. Contact us to schedule an eye exam for your children today.
Monitoring Visual Development
A comprehensive children’s eye exam has many functions beyond determining a prescription for your children’s new glasses. An eye exam can allow our team to check for refractive errors such as myopia (nearsightedness), hyperopia (farsightedness), and astigmatism.
Early and frequent eye exams can also allow our team to address conditions such as amblyopia (lazy eye) and strabismus while your children are young to prevent future complications.
Early visual development is an important time for your children and contributes to other aspects of their life such as academic performance or reading their favourite book.
When to Schedule a Pediatric Eye Exam for Your Children
Your child’s vision is ever-changing, so consistently monitoring visual development and changes is essential. The Canadian Association of Optometrists recommends the following exam frequency for children:
- First eye exam between 6 and 9 months
- One eye exam between the ages of 2 and 5
- Yearly between the ages of 6 to 18
Additional eye exams may be recommended by our team depending on your child’s unique visual needs.
What to Expect During a Children’s Eye Exam
Our eye exams are all about the details. Beyond determining your children’s unique prescription, we check for visual skills that are essential for learning, movement, and coordination, such as:
- Eye tracking
- Eye-hand coordination
- Colour vision
- Peripheral vision
- Focusing ability
Our pediatric optometrists may recommend vision therapy for your child. Vision therapy is a personalized treatment program designed to help patients learn, relearn, and reinforce specific visual skills.
Our team also monitors myopia progression and helps your children navigate and slow its progression. For more information on myopia, please visit our myopia control page.
Preserving Vision from a Young Age
At Oxford Optometry, our goal is to build good vision care habits in your children that they can carry with them through adulthood. Consistency is key and allows our team to familiarize themselves with your children’s visual development.
Contact us to schedule a pediatric eye exam for your children—we’re looking forward to welcoming the whole family.

Sarah is a very caring doctor. She goes above and beyond what one would expect from an exceptional optometrist. When she was unable to get me in to see my ophthalmologist she and her receptionist ensured I got the best care. I had an appointment at the Ivey Eye Institute the next day! Thank you!
