Can a child be tested for glasses?
Yes, a child can be tested for glasses. An eye exam performed by an ophthalmologist is necessary to determine if glasses are needed. To get an accurate prescription, the ophthalmologist typically relaxes the child’s focusing muscles by dilating the pupils. Using a special instrument called a retinoscope, the doctor can assess how the eyes focus and arrive at the correct prescription.
