Children’s Eye Exams in Walnut Creek & Antioch

Protect & Preserve Your Children’s Eyesight

Your child’s eyes are incredibly valuable to their ongoing growth and development. Good vision accounts for 80% of what your child learns, which means protecting their eyesight is imperative to ensure they have the necessary resources for future success.

During the first 6 years of their life, your child’s eyes will experience rapid changes. As an infant, their eyes will allow them to see shapes and colors, and as they age, more intricate details will become visible. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, fewer than 15% of preschool children receive an eye exam by a professional, which can significantly hinder their academic abilities if they have issues with their ocular health or vision.

Although school vision programs have become commonplace across the United States, school vision screenings miss up to 75% of children with vision problems. Further, 61% of the children who have vision problems never visit their optometrist for adequate diagnosis and treatment.

At Diablo Valley Optometric Group, we want to change those numbers, especially in our local communities of Contra Costa County. Your children deserve to enjoy the best vision they can for as long as possible, and we’re doing our part to help make that happen. Book your appointment today!
