An eye examination comprehensively evaluates vision and eye health, conducted by an ophthalmologist or optometrist to diagnose and treat vision disorders. Signs that a child may have a vision problem include red, watery or irritated eyes; frequent rubbing of eyes; squinting or frowning; difficulty with close-up tasks; dizziness or headaches after close work; and complaints of blurry or double vision or itchy eyes. If a parent notices one or more of these signs, they should schedule an eye exam right away. The eye doctor visit will be most successful if the child is well-rested and not hungry, and if favorite quiet activities are brought along.
