Child-FriendlyEye Care
Your children’s eyesight constantly changes as they grow, more rapidly than at any other time in their lives — which makes pediatric eye exams essential to building a strong foundation for a lifetime of healthy eyes. You should be confident in your child’s eye care: choose Vision Specialists’ family-friendly team for a thorough eye exam that’s as easy as it is enjoyable.
Why Do Children Need Eye Exams?
Children’s eyes develop quickly, so it’s important to catch eye health issues as early as possible. Pediatric eye exams test for age-specific conditions, including strabismus (crossed eyes), amblyopia (lazy eye), and vision impairments like myopia (nearsightedness). If your children frequently use digital devices like computers and tablets, pediatric eye exams are important to help prevent digital eye strain.
The Vision Specialists Difference
It’s important to us that our pediatric exams are just as valuable to our child patients as they are to our pediatric optometrists — Our team uses child-friendly technology and animated "Vision Pals" that greet your children and walk them through the exam process to put them at ease.
Developing Eyes Deserve theBest Vision Care
We all want the best for our children. So give them the best in eye care by booking a comprehensive pediatric eye exam at Vision Specialists!
When Should I Bring My Child In?
Following the standards of care, we recommend your child's first visit is between six months and one year of age. After that, we recommend bringing your child in at three years old, then at least annually once they start school. We may recommend more frequent visits if they require specialty eyewear or there are concerns about vision health issues.

No wait time
We had an eye appointment this morning. Dr. Jarred and Kellie were amazing! Dr. Jarred took time to explain everything he was doing. My kids thought he was funny and nice. My kids did not have to get dilated they took photos instead. They also had cool games on the computer for the kids to play on. No wait time, we were in and out.
Knowledgeable
My family recently went to this place for annual eye exams and ordered contact lens and two pairs of glasses. Kellie, Rhonda and other staff members are super nice, helpful and patient. We really appreciated it. I visited Dr. Bruegman yesterday for a glaucoma evaluation. Dr. B is very knowledgeable and clearly explained all the tests and exams to me. She even double checked my IOP using two different methods to make sure readings are reliable. She also took extra time to take care of glasses when she had a busy work schedule. Overall, my family and I enjoyed our experiences with them.
Amazing
Took my 6 year old here for his first eye exam and he loved it! The crew here is just amazing. I definitely recommend!!
Patient
Brought my two young daughters in for eye exams and had a great experience. They have kid centered electronics in the waiting room to entertain kids while they wait. Staff was very patient and kind with them. Dr. Bruegman was great with them as well. Afterwards, they got a coin to use in a toy dispenser which they loved! Will definitely be back!
Fantastic
Dr. B was fantastic with our 2 year old! We will be happily coming back. Thanks for providing such and amazing experience, Dr. B!
