EYE CARE FOR KIDS
Children’s Vision Care & Exam Services in Santa Clara, San Jose & Throughout the Bay Area, CA
It is important to detect any visual disorders and problems early so there will not be any permanent developmental vision problems resulting from undetected eye problems.
The American Optometric Association and the American Medical Association now recommend that children receive their first eye exam by age 9 months. It is important that the children see their pediatrician and eye doctor as well. The pediatrician will look at the general health of the eyes but will not look at muscle imbalance and prescription problems. We provide family eye care services for both adults and children.
Children should have the chance to learn at their full capacity. Children with undiagnosed eye disorders are more likely to have to repeat a grade level in school, have behavior problems, be diagnosed with ADD, and perform below their intellectual abilities. Schedule a vision care appointment for your child with 20/20 Optometry of Silicon Valley.

Helping Our Community One Child at a Time
We launched this program, of giving back to the children in our community of San Jose, in 2003 when there were many financial challenges to families around us. Children are our future of tomorrow and we wanted them to have the opportunity to reach for their dreams without having their vision affecting their quality of life, especially in school.
Our solution to this problem was to donate eye exams and glasses to underprivileged kids, foster kids, or children of families with financial hardships. Eye examinations and glasses are provided once annually to each child that qualifies for this program.
Through the partnership with our patients we have improved the lives of valuable members of our community. Our mission is to enhance children's quality of life by detecting and correcting vision problems so that they can reach their full potential in life.
When you purchase a second pair of glasses, we will donate a pair of glasses to a child in need!**When the second pair is purchased without insurance.
