Ensure your child succeeds in the classroom with Bard Optical’s pediatric eye care!

Set Your Sights on an Eye Exam this Back-to-School Season!

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.

If you’re at all unsure if your child is ready to keep up in class, on the field, or even while making friends, don’t take the risk: schedule a pediatric eye exam!

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.
