Make Sure Your Child’s Vision Gets High Marks This Year!

With Washington Eye Doctors, Your Child Will Love What They See

Does Your Child Have Grade-A Eyesight?

Your child’s vision can change a lot over a year. And these days, that’s not just because their myopia (nearsightedness) progresses, or they develop age-specific conditions like amblyopia (lazy eye) or strabismus (crossed eyes).

No, it’s also because the way kids learn — and view their education — is changing. More lessons take place on computer screens, which pump out problematic “blue light” that increases the risk of dry eye, eye strain, headaches, and more.

We understand that as a parent, you might be wondering when is the right time to have your child’s eyes checked. Well, you’re not alone. We are constantly asked, “At what age should I have my child’s eyes checked?” Our recommendation is to start when they begin formalized schooling, typically around 4-5 years old. At this age, it’s easier for them to get through exams and participate fully in their educational journey. By scheduling a pediatric eye exam, you can ensure that your child is ready to keep up in class, on the field, or even while making friends. So why take the risk? Let’s take care of your child’s vision together!

Pediatric Eye Exams Make All the Difference. Here’s Why:

There’s much more to pediatric eye exams than a precise vision prescription. (Though, we find that too!) These annual check-ups are the single best way to stay ahead of potential vision conditions.

If your child needs glasses or contacts, we correct and help manage their eyesight. If we see any signs of eye disease, we put together a treatment plan that fits their needs and busy schedule.

Eye exams are always valuable — but child-specific eye exams can find things adult exams won’t.

Testimonials

- Karen M.

“Dr. Rosenblatt has been my eye doctor for many years and worked with me to get my proper correction for nearsightedness. My extra-sensitive system was previously over-corrected and his prescriptions enabled my vision to be more relaxed and stabilize. The glasses are high quality and good fit. I’m especially fond of the nearly weightless frames and lenses.”

- Randy C.

“I have been with Washington Eye Doctors for 50 years since the Katz/Kanstroom days. They guided me through bifocals as a kid, contacts as an adolescent and Lasik as an adult. 25 years after Lasik I still have near perfect vision. I just went back for night driving glasses. Always quick, efficient and thorough consistently over the decades.”

- Devora H.

“They are so great! They take you soon after you come in, and the front desk is so helpful with any insurance or billing issues you might have. The doctors are so nice, and I loved chatting with the people who adjust the glasses before I left!”

- Chelsy S.

“I’ve been to several optometrists in DC and Maryland and Dr. Rosenblatt and his staff are by far the best. Dr. Rosenblatt and his technicians were knowledgeable, understanding and made sure all of my questions were answered and that I left with solutions each visit. In addition to Dr. Rosenblatt himself, his technicians and those working at the front desk were also extremely kind and helpful!”

- Qundeel K.

“Dr. Friedman is the best! I’ve been coming here for a couple of years now. The staff are friendly and attentive. Sean was very patient in helping me find the perfect pair of glasses! I have a rather strong prescription and Dr. Friedman has worked with me to try various contacts lenses – from custom soft to hybrid. Highly recommend!!”

- Traer S.

“I just saw a new, young optometrist, Dr. Abrams, and was very pleased with his quick grasp of my somewhat complicated issues and how to resolve them, all the time engaging in a calm and thoughtful manner. It’s great to see young, highly qualifed staff joining the practice.”

Why Parents Love Washington Eye Doctors

Washington Eye Doctors has been helping families love what they see since 1948, so you can trust that our exceptional care is backed by years of expertise. It’s also backed by industry-leading technology, which is why we have the Oculus Myopia Master, technology that physically measures the axial length of the eye to diagnose, monitor, and treat myopia. This makes our myopia management program more effective because it treats nearsightedness at its source—and we offer it at all three of our locations! For students with vision needs, we’re taking additional measures to ensure they’re back-to-school ready by offering parents a special deal with our children’s glasses packages: starting as low as $119, you can bundle and save on frames and impact-resistant and anti-reflective lenses!
