Why Does My Child Need an Eye Exam?
Many vision problems in children develop gradually and may not be obvious to parents or teachers. Because children often assume everyone sees the way they do, they may not complain about blurry vision or eye discomfort. Comprehensive eye exams can detect vision problems early, allowing treatment before they begin to affect learning, reading, sports, and everyday activities.
Even if your child has passed a school vision screening, it is still important to schedule regular comprehensive eye exams. School screenings check only a limited portion of your child's vision and cannot detect many eye conditions or evaluate overall eye health. A comprehensive eye examination provides a complete assessment of your child's vision, eye coordination, focusing ability, and overall eye health to help ensure healthy visual development.

When Should My Child Have an Eye Exam?
Children's vision changes rapidly as they grow, making regular comprehensive eye exams an important part of their healthcare. The American Optometric Association recommends an eye exam at 6 to 12 months of age, again at least once between ages 3 and 5, and every year after starting school, or as recommended by your child's eye doctor based on their individual vision needs.
You should also schedule an eye exam sooner if your child shows signs of vision problems, such as squinting, frequent headaches, sitting too close to the television, holding books very close, covering one eye, rubbing their eyes often, or having difficulty reading or concentrating. Early detection allows many vision problems to be treated before they interfere with learning, development, or everyday activities.

What Happens During the Exam?
A comprehensive children's eye exam is designed to be comfortable, thorough, and age-appropriate. During your child's visit, our optometrist will evaluate visual acuity, eye alignment, focusing ability, depth perception, color vision (when appropriate), and the overall health of the eyes. We also assess how well the eyes work together and check for signs of common vision problems, including nearsightedness, farsightedness, astigmatism, and eye diseases.
After the examination, we'll review the results with you, answer any questions, and discuss whether your child would benefit from glasses, additional testing, or routine follow-up care. Our goal is to help your child enjoy clear, comfortable vision while supporting healthy visual development and success at school and in everyday activities.

Does HUSKY Cover Glasses?
Yes. Connecticut HUSKY Health provides vision benefits for eligible children that may include eyeglasses when they are medically necessary and prescribed as part of a comprehensive eye examination. If your child's exam shows that glasses are needed, our team will explain your HUSKY vision benefits, discuss your available eyewear options, and help you through the selection process.
Our goal is to make receiving prescription glasses as simple and stress-free as possible. We offer a variety of children's frames designed for comfort, durability, and everyday wear, and we're happy to answer any questions you may have about your child's vision benefits before or during your visit.

What If My Child Has an Eye Problem?
If your child's eye exam reveals a vision problem or eye condition, there's no need to panic. Many common conditions, such as nearsightedness, farsightedness, astigmatism, lazy eye (amblyopia), and eye teaming or focusing problems, can often be successfully managed when detected early. Early diagnosis and treatment can play an important role in supporting your child's vision, learning, and overall development.
At Port Chester Eye Care, we'll explain your child's diagnosis in clear, easy-to-understand language and discuss the most appropriate treatment options. Depending on your child's needs, this may include prescription glasses, vision monitoring, or referral to an ophthalmologist or other specialist when additional medical or surgical care is appropriate. Our goal is to ensure your child receives the right care at the right time while keeping you informed every step of the way.
