A child’s first eye exam should be when they turn 6 months old, then at age three, and again right before they enter first grade.

​

​

The following warning signs may indicate an eye problem:

​

• Avoiding reading, writing or drawing

• Closing one eye when they go out in bright sunlight

• Closing one eye when they watch TV or read

• Complaining about double or blurred vision

• Excessively rubbing their eyes

• Excessively watery eyes

• Having unexplained headaches

• Holding books or objects unusually close to their face or sitting very close to the TV

• Poor hand-eye coordination and clumsiness

​

4 keys for choosing prescription glasses for kids:

​

-They must feel comfortable

-The material must be tough, but light, better if it is INDESTRUCTIBLE

-The frame must fit to the child’s face

- The glasses need to be universal for the many different needs and activities children have throughout the  day (options to add a clip for blue light protection or sunglasses are available)

​

At Bauer Eyecare we can do an eye exam with NO AIR PUFF and NO DILATION options, we partner with brands such as Oakley and Nano Vista. 

​

Nano Vista glasses are made of a unique and patented material called Siliflex; Its particular composition makes them virtually indestructible, sizes are available for babies as well as teenagers.
