At Eye Rx - Stone Ridge, pediatric eye exams are calm, thorough visits designed to support clear vision and healthy development. We evaluate how your child sees, how their eyes work together, and whether there are early signs of issues that need closer attention, including myopia progression.
Eye Care That Grows With Your Child
Families throughout Aldie, Stone Ridge, and Greater Loudoun County choose our practice for pediatric care that is clear, organized, and easy to follow. We look beyond a prescription. We consider school demands, screen use, hobbies, and family history to explain what we find and what it means for long-term vision.
What We Check at a Pediatric Eye Exam
A pediatric eye exam evaluates vision clarity and overall eye health. We assess how your child focuses, tracks, and uses both eyes together, and we look for early signs of concerns that can affect learning and comfort.
Pediatric eye exams are available for children aged 5+ (and younger when clinically indicated). Parents receive clear explanations and practical guidance for follow-up when monitoring is recommended.
Signs Your Child May Need an Eye Exam
Children do not always know how to describe vision changes, so signs often show up in daily routines. Consider scheduling an exam if you notice:
- Squinting or sitting very close to screens and books
- Frequent headaches or eye rubbing
- Trouble seeing the board at school
- Avoiding reading or losing place while reading
- A family history of nearsightedness or frequent prescription changes
Myopia and Myopia Management for Children
Myopia, also called nearsightedness, often begins in childhood and can increase as children grow. If myopia progresses, children may need stronger prescriptions over time. Monitoring matters because early planning can support long-term eye health.
Eye Rx - Stone Ridge provides myopia management as part of pediatric-focused care. Dr. Jennifer Sun has a special interest in myopia management and brings extensive experience guiding families through long-term plans with clear, education-driven support.
If myopia management is appropriate, our eye doctor will review options based on prescription, eye health, and daily routine. Options offered at Stone Ridge include orthokeratology, specialty contact lenses, MiSight®, and Stellest® lenses.
Support for Children With Medical or Complex Needs
Some children need additional care due to medical conditions, stronger prescriptions, or ongoing monitoring needs. Our Stone Ridge eye doctor provides medically focused eye care with a calm, education-first approach, and we coordinate care when specialist involvement is needed so your child’s plan stays clear and consistent.
If your child is due for a pediatric eye exam, has vision concerns, or needs monitoring for myopia progression, our team is here to help. Schedule a visit at Eye Rx - Stone Ridge for clear answers and a plan designed around long-term eye health.
