FOR KIDS - Special for Kids
Eye examinations for kids are very different from that for adults. Special equipment and procedures are often required. Age appropriate tests and experienced in pediatric optometry are especially important in assessing young children.
Our optometrist has many years of experience teaching and supervising at the Hong Kong Polytechnic University's Optometry Specialty Clinic of Pediatric Optometry and Vision Therapy.
What do we test for kids?
- Visual acuity - how well he/she sees, is there any sign of lazy eye?
- Prescription - is there long sightedness, short sightedness or astigmatism?
- Eye teaming ability - is there any eye teaming problem or eye squint?
- Focusing ability - is there any focusing problem that may affect reading or playing up close or causing eye strain?
- Stereopsis - how well does he/she see 3-dimensionly?
- Color vision - is there any color deficiency?
- Eye health - are both eyes healthy? internally and externally? is there any congenital problem?
- Eye tracking ability or other sign of vision-related-learning problem - is there any eye movement problem? is there a need for further evaluation of visual perception analysis?

Eye care for each individual should be unique, providing for one's special needs; should it be contact lens services, computer and reading needs or even sports vision, we are able to provide expert advice and care for all of these items.
What do we test for adults?

- Eye health - are both eyes healthy, internally and externally? is the eye pressure within normal limit? is there any systemic problem that may affect vision and health?
