Comprehensive Children's Eye Care in Poughkeepsie & Red Hook

Healthy vision development in infants and children paves the way for growth, learning, and success. Our pediatric optometrists ensure kids meet milestones through thorough eye care.

Tips For Preparing Your Child for the Eye Exam

Explain the purpose of the visit in a simple, friendly tone. Address any anxiety by allowing questions and inviting them to share concerns. Arrive early to complete forms before the appointment to prevent restlessness. Engage their cooperation by focusing on fun aspects like testing different lenses. Reward their participation with praise. Maintaining a relaxed attitude throughout will ensure the best experience.

Infant Eye Exams (Birth-24 Months)

At six months, we assess focusing, tracking, and eye teaming. Identifying issues like misalignment early prevents problems. Premature babies need more frequent monitoring.

Preschool Vision Screenings (Ages 2-5)

We check for nearsightedness, astigmatism, and disorders like amblyopia. Spotting conditions early boosts treatment efficacy, ensuring solid visual foundations.
