Children’s Vision Care at Our Pittsford Optometry Practice

Vision plays a critical role in a child’s learning process, with studies estimating that up to 80% of learning is visually driven. As students progress through school, visual demands increase—smaller text sizes, longer reading periods, and more intensive studying can strain a child’s eyes. Undiagnosed vision problems can hinder academic performance and overall development.

A comprehensive eye exam by an optometrist before starting school ensures that a child’s visual system is ready for reading, writing, and other close-up tasks. Good vision goes beyond having 20/20 eyesight; it also involves the ability to focus, track, and process visual information effectively. Skills such as eye coordination, focusing at various distances, and depth perception are essential for classroom success.

Children often don’t recognize signs of vision strain, as they assume their experience is normal. Since vision can change frequently during school years, regular pediatric eye exams are essential. Our family-owned optometry practice in Pittsford, NY, is committed to providing thorough eye care for children to help them reach their full potential.
