Children’s Eye Exams

Summary Content

At Eye Check Calgary, we go beyond standard vision screening. Our exams assess how your child sees, how their eyes work together, and whether their vision is developing normally. We use age-appropriate tools and techniques, from picture charts for toddlers to digital acuity tests for school-aged children. Every child receives a full health assessment that includes: 

  • Visual acuity testing to measure clarity of vision at different distances
  • Eye alignment and movement testing to check for strabismus or tracking issues
  • Binocular vision and depth perception evaluation
  • Colour vision screening for early detection of colour blindness
  • Refraction testing to determine prescription needs
  • External and internal eye health checks using child-safe instruments
  • Review of developmental milestones and visual behaviours

Benefits of Choosing Eye Check Calgary

At Eye Check Calgary, we treat every exam as an opportunity to uncover more than just vision issues. With advanced technology and a proactive mindset, we help you stay ahead of preventable problems and live with greater confidence in your care.

Advanced Imaging for All Eye Patients

Advanced Imaging for All Eye Patients

We use 3D OCT scans and fundus photography for all ages—not just when there's a problem. This helps us detect issues like glaucoma, macular degeneration, and optic nerve inflammation early.

Visual Field Testing for Older Adults

Visual Field Testing for Older Adults

All seniors receive visual field testing, helping us detect past strokes or neurological issues that may have gone unnoticed. This proactive approach allows us to coordinate timely care with your family doctor or specialists if needed.

Equal Care for Children and All Adults

Equal Care for Children and All Adults

Children often can’t describe their vision issues. That’s why we give them the same detailed exams as adults, helping catch problems before they affect learning and development.

Fast Response to Urgent Eye Concerns
