Preventive examination<\/h2>[vc_column_text]To ensure that the whole world is open to your child later, unrestricted vision is an important factor. How else is it supposed to find its way without help in our highly visual environment? Therefore, checking the eyes should be an important part of your child’s health care. What many parents don’t know: Eye and vision defects can develop in early childhood, perhaps even unnoticed at first.<\/p>\n

With a vision test for children and a comprehensive screening examination, these can be detected early and treated properly, ensuring continued good visual development. So taking early action can make all the difference in your child’s future. We recommend that you have your child undergo an eye test at the Bellevue Eye Clinic in Zurich before he or she starts school at the latest, but preferably much earlier.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1\/4″ offset=”vc_hidden-lg”][vc_empty_space][\/vc_column][vc_column top_margin=”page-margin-top” width=”3\/4″ offset=”vc_hidden-lg”][vc_button title=”CONTACT” label=”Gerne vereinbaren wir schnellstm\u00f6glich einen Termin.

Routine check-ups and eye tests for children<\/h2>[vc_column_text el_class=”margin-top-20″]You should visit a pediatric ophthalmologist no later than the end of kindergarten (preschool) to identify potential problems before school starts. As a rule, however, your child will already undergo a vision test during the U examinations (U2 and U3), before their 5th week of life. If deviations from the norm are seen here, your pediatrician will refer you directly to an eye specialist. A further check-up is scheduled for the second half of the first year of life.<\/p>\n

We also recommend that parents have their child’s vision measured again between the ages of three and five, and not just later when they start school. This is the approach for children who do not show any impairment of vision.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/3″ css=”.vc_custom_1614283061584{background-color: #f0f0f0 !important;}”][vc_single_image image=”4516″ img_size=”medium-thumb” alignment=”center”][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner]
