Children’s Eye Tests
Experts in Children's Eye Tests in Independence, KY
Children rarely have serious vision problems, but we recommend routine children's eye tests to identify any issues early on. The more quickly problems can be identified the better chance we have to treat and improve the situation, and reduce further eye degeneration. Children are often not aware they have problems with their vision. If they do have any, having routine eye exams can identify them and avoid or reduce the growth, development or learning problems that may be a result of the condition. Call our office in Independence, KY for an appointment.
