Early, Personalized Eye Care for Every Stage of Development

Children's vision develops quickly, and routine eye exams play an important role in supporting healthy development, learning, and everyday confidence. Every child is different, which is why we take the time to build trust and create a positive experience in a warm, family-friendly environment.

Dr. Maggie Dunn provides personalized eye care for children of all ages. She is passionate about building lasting relationships with families and helping children maintain healthy vision as they grow. Whether your child is coming in for a routine eye exam, experiencing vision changes, or needs ongoing monitoring, Dr. Dunn is committed to making each visit comfortable, informative, and encouraging.

We're proud to care for the children and grandchildren of families who have trusted Powell Vision Center for decades.

When Should Children Have Their Eyes Examined?

Because children don't always recognize or communicate vision problems, regular eye exams are an important part of their overall healthcare. The American Optometric Association recommends:

  • Infants and young children: Follow our eye doctor's recommendations for early vision evaluations.

  • Preschool-aged children: Eye exams as recommended based on visual development and risk factors.

  • School-age children: Routine eye exams to monitor vision and eye health as they grow.

These evaluations help detect concerns such as eye turns, lazy eye, focusing difficulties, and refractive errors. Early identification allows us to recommend appropriate treatment or monitoring when needed.

What to Expect During Your Child’s Eye Exam

Each eye exam is tailored to your child's age, needs, and developmental stage. We evaluate visual acuity, focusing ability, eye coordination, and overall eye health while making the experience as comfortable as possible.

Eye exams may include:

  • Age-appropriate vision testing

  • Eye alignment and tracking assessments

  • Binocular vision and depth perception evaluation

  • Detection of refractive errors

  • Eye health screening

Parents are welcome to stay with their child during the appointment. Our Powell team will explain findings clearly, answer questions, and discuss any recommendations so you feel confident about your child's eye health.

Supporting Academic Success and Long-Term Vision Health

Vision plays a major role in how children learn, read, participate in sports, and interact with the world around them. Regular eye exams help ensure their eyes function comfortably and efficiently at each stage of development.

Children with nearsightedness may benefit from myopia management strategies, including soft multifocal contact lenses. These options may help slow the progression of myopia and support long-term eye health.

Whether it's your child's first visit or a routine follow-up eye exam, we'll take the time to explain every step and provide eye care that fits their individual needs.
