Got more questions?
Here’s an introduction to kids’ eye care.
When should kids get their eyes checked?
Eye exams are recommended as early as 6 months, and regularly throughout childhood to ensure your child’s vision is developing as it should.
Learning is mostly visual. Children learn by reading the whiteboard, observing their teachers and classmates, reading their textbooks, and working on screens. It’s also difficult for a child to communicate or self-report vision issues. An eye exam eliminates any guesswork and addresses concerns right away.

Why it's important
As your child grows, it’s important to track development milestones, including vision. If vision problems often go undetected, this can ultimately impact your child’s learning, development, and confidence. Seeing an optometrist ensures:
Prescriptions are accurate
and up to date
Eye health and development are properly assessed
Myopia is detected and managed early
Children’s eyeglasses are fitted for comfort, safety, and optimal clarity

Kids' Glasses FAQs
When should kids get their first eye exam?
Eye exams are recommended as early as 6 months, and regularly throughout childhood as recommended by your doctor to ensure your child's vision is developing properly.
How do I choose the right kids' glasses frames?
Kids' glasses should be fitted by an eye care professional to ensure correct measurements, comfort, and durability. Look for flexible, lightweight frames from trusted brands like Nike, Oakley, and Nano Vista.
What brands of children's glasses does FYidoctors carry?
FYidoctors clinics carry kids' frames from Nike, Oakley, Nano Vista, Miraflex, Ray-Ban, and OVVO Optics — all designed for durability and comfort for active children.
Are kids' eye exams covered by provincial health plans in Canada?
Most Canadian provinces cover annual eye exams for children. Coverage varies by province — visit your nearest FYidoctors clinic or check your provincial health plan for details.
How often should children get their eyes checked?
Children should have their first eye exam at 6 months, then at age 3, before starting school, and annually throughout childhood to monitor vision development and detect issues like myopia early. Regular visits also give your eye doctor the chance to recommend the right lens options — like blue light filtering — for your child's screen habits and daily routine.
Why are in-clinic fittings better than ordering kids' glasses online?
Children's eyes are still developing, so glasses need to be professionally fitted, measured, and prescribed by eye care professionals. In-clinic fittings ensure accurate prescriptions, proper frame fit for comfort and safety, and early detection of conditions like myopia.
