My child had a school vision screening, does he/she need an eye exam with a Doctor?
Proper school screenings are a good tool to discover basic vision problems in some children but are not comprehensive eye examinations and can miss major visual and health issues in many kids. At Conejo Family Eyecare Drs Griffith and Hamlet complete a full battery of tests to asses a childs visual function and eye health that far exceed any typical screening and we therefore recommend a comprehensive examination in all children. See next question / answer for recommendations as to interval of childrens examinations.
