This exam can be done with the child securely in its parent's arms.

It is extremely beneficial for all children to have a comprehensive eye exam before starting kindergarten. This is so important, that Dr. Pelletier volunteers at local schools to do visual screenings of children entering kindergarten. Learning is very demanding and visually complex. Issues beyond how well a child sees can affect their learning. For example, the ability of the eyes to work together and the amount of effort required can greatly affect a child's ability to learn to read.
It is recommended school age children have yearly eye exams right up through college. So much can change in a year, especially with the extensive use of computers. Sports also factor into visual needs as does the visual changes caused by normal growth and development.
