Children depend on good vision for reading, learning, and development. Dr. Gooya Goudarzi, OD, MSc, provides age-appropriate eye exams for children starting at age 4, assessing visual acuity, eye alignment, focusing ability, and early signs of myopia or amblyopia.
Early detection matters: undetected vision problems are a leading cause of learning difficulties. Dr. Goudarzi makes exams calm and child-friendly, and she talks with both the child and the parent about what she finds. Most major vision and medical insurance plans are accepted for children's eye exams.
What We Evaluate in Children
Frequently Asked Questions
At what age should my child have their first eye exam?
Metro Eyes Vision Care welcomes children for eye exams starting at age 4. Early exams can detect vision problems — including amblyopia (lazy eye) and eye misalignment — before they affect learning and development.
How do you test children who cannot read yet?
Dr. Goudarzi uses age-appropriate testing methods that do not require a child to read or respond verbally in the traditional way. Symbol charts and other tools allow accurate assessment of visual acuity in young children.
What vision problems do you look for in children?
During a pediatric eye exam, Dr. Goudarzi screens for reduced visual acuity, myopia (nearsightedness), hyperopia (farsightedness), astigmatism, amblyopia (lazy eye), eye misalignment (strabismus), and early signs of myopia progression.
Does my child need glasses if they pass a school vision screening?
School vision screenings are limited and can miss significant vision problems. A comprehensive eye exam provides a much more thorough evaluation and is recommended even if your child has passed a school screening.
