Is your child seeing the world clearly?
Children often don’t realize they have vision problems, which can impact learning, development, and confidence. Routine pediatric eye exams are essential for detecting issues early. The American Optometric Association recommends that children have their first eye exam between 6-12 months to ensure their eyes are developing properly. At Family Optometric Group in Oxnard, we specialize in child-friendly eye care to keep your child’s vision on track.
We provide pediatric eye exams for all ages, using age-appropriate techniques to detect vision problems early. Our exams are designed to be engaging and comfortable, ensuring your child feels at ease. If your child needs glasses, our kid’s optical has a great selection of designer frames so they can find a pair they love! We also have a separate "family room" to create a fun and stress-free experience when you bring your child for an eye exam.
For children with nearsightedness (myopia) or at risk of developing it, our doctors offer myopia control treatment to help slow progression. Additionally, if your child has trouble with visual processing or eye coordination, vision therapy with Dr. Jack Holden can provide personalized treatment. If contact lenses are a better fit for their lifestyle, we also offer pediatric contact lens fittings.
During a pediatric eye exam, we start by discussing your child’s visual habits and any concerns you may have. Our friendly and experienced team uses state-of-the-art diagnostic technology to evaluate:
- Visual acuity – ensuring your child can see clearly
- Eye alignment and focusing ability – detecting any coordination issues
- Overall eye health – checking for early signs of conditions like lazy eye (amblyopia) or crossed eyes (strabismus)
Our Oxnard optometrists make exams interactive and engaging, helping kids feel comfortable while gathering essential information about their vision.
Our office is designed with kids in mind, making it easy and stress-free for parents to bring their children in for an exam. Our "family room" provides a relaxed and child-friendly atmosphere, while our team is specially trained in pediatric eye care. We believe that healthy vision is essential for learning, development, and confidence, and we’re here to support your child every step of the way.
For infants aged 6 to 12 months, we participate in the InfantSEE® program, offering a one-time, no-cost comprehensive eye and vision assessment to ensure early detection of potential eye and vision problems.
