Myopia & Nearsightedness in Children

Myopia, or nearsightedness, commonly begins during childhood and can progress as children grow.

Children with myopia may have trouble seeing the board at school, squint at distant objects or move closer to screens to see clearly.

Socialite Vision provides myopia management in Palm Beach Gardens for children who are experiencing progressive nearsightedness. Myopia management goes beyond simply correcting blurry vision and is designed to help slow myopia progression in appropriate patients.

Children's Eye Exam FAQs

At what age does Socialite Vision see children?

Socialite Vision provides comprehensive eye exams for children ages 7 and older, including school-age children and teenagers.

Is a school vision screening the same as a comprehensive eye exam?

No. A school vision screening can identify some potential vision problems, but it does not replace a comprehensive eye exam. An eye exam evaluates your child's prescription, eye health, focusing, eye coordination and other aspects of their visual system.

What are signs my child may need an eye exam?

Common signs include squinting, headaches, blurry vision, sitting close to screens, difficulty seeing the board, eye strain or difficulty with reading and schoolwork. Children may also have vision problems without obvious symptoms, which is why routine eye exams are important.

Can vision problems cause headaches in children?

Vision isn't the only possible cause of headaches, but certain vision and eye coordination problems can contribute to headaches or eye strain. A comprehensive eye exam can help determine whether your child's vision may be playing a role.

What are signs of myopia in children?

Children with myopia, or nearsightedness, may have difficulty seeing objects in the distance, squint frequently or struggle to see the board at school. Because myopia can progress during childhood, regular monitoring is important.
