Pediatric Eye Exams in West Los Angeles
Hodes Vision Optometry provides pediatric eye exams in West Los Angeles for children starting at six months, with a calm, family-friendly experience and clear guidance for parents, especially helpful for screen-heavy school days and busy schedules.
A Comfortable, Thorough Optometrist Appointment For Kids & Parents
We know a child’s first eye exam can bring questions. Our team takes time to explain what we’re checking and what the results mean, so you feel confident about the next steps. Pediatric care is a meaningful part of our practice, and we’re proud to support families across West Los Angeles with consistent, relationship-driven care.
Eye Exams Starting at Six Months
Vision and eye health checks are important even before school starts. We provide pediatric eye care for infants, toddlers, and school-age children starting at 6 months, with an approach that feels gentle, efficient, and age-appropriate.
To help your visit go smoothly, bring any current glasses, a list of medications, and notes about any vision concerns you’ve noticed at home or school.
Signs Your Child May Need an Eye Exam
An eye exam can help confirm if your child is seeing clearly and comfortably. If you’re unsure whether it’s time to book, here are some signs to watch for:
- Squinting, sitting very close to screens, or holding books too close
- Headaches, eye strain, or tired eyes after school
- Trouble seeing the board or missing details at a distance
- Frequent rubbing of the eyes, watery eyes, or ongoing irritation
- A prescription that seems to change year over year
- A parent's concern that “something feels off,” even if your child can’t explain it
Myopia Management For Children & Teens
If your child’s prescription seems to change every year, myopia management may help slow progression.
Our myopia management options include ortho-k, atropine therapy, Stellest®, and MiSight®, with recommendations tailored to your child’s age, prescription, and daily routines.
Technology And Communication Support For Growing Eyes
Our practice uses advanced diagnostic technology to support detailed evaluation and ongoing monitoring as children grow.
We also offer language support through our team, including English, Spanish, and additional Asian languages, so families can ask questions comfortably and feel understood during every visit.
