Infant Eye Exams

Why Infant Eye Exams Matter

Many important visual skills begin developing during infancy and early childhood.

Even when the eyes appear healthy, some children may develop difficulties with:

• Eye coordination

• Tracking

• Focusing

• Visual attention

• Depth perception

• Visual-motor development

Early identification of visual concerns can help support healthy visual and neurological development during critical developmental years.

What We Evaluate

Our infant and early childhood evaluations may assess:

• Eye health

• Prescription needs

• Eye alignment & teaming

• Tracking abilities

• Visual attention

• Developmental visual milestones

• Visual responses and coordination

We take a gentle, child-centered approach designed to make the experience comfortable for both children and parents.

Signs an Evaluation May Be Beneficial

Parents may notice:

• Eye turns

• Difficulty maintaining eye contact

• Delayed visual attention

• Poor tracking

• Frequent head tilts

• Light sensitivity

• Developmental concerns

• Coordination difficulties

• Delays in visual-motor skills

Our Developmental Approach

At Neuro Vision & Rehabilitation Center of Northern California, we look beyond eyesight alone to evaluate how vision supports overall development, movement, attention, and interaction with the environment.

When needed, recommendations may include:

• Monitoring visual development

• Glasses

• Vision therapy

• Home-based activities

• Collaborative care with pediatric specialists and therapists
