Children's Eye Exams Near Crosby
Families from Crosby and across Richmond Hill visit our Gordon Baker Road clinic for relaxed, age-appropriate eye exams that help children see comfortably at school and at play.
Made for Young Patients
Children rarely say when their vision seems different, because it is the only way they have ever seen. Dr. Mustafa Rawji and our team keep each exam friendly and paced for your child, explain each step in simple words, and welcome parents to stay close throughout.
We give children time to respond, celebrate their effort, and keep the visit light and reassuring.
Depending on age, we may check focusing, eye teaming, eye movement, depth perception, and colour vision.
You are part of the conversation, from sharing what you notice at home to understanding the results.
What to Expect
Each exam is adapted to your child's age and development. Here is what a typical visit looks like.
We say hello, chat with your child, and hear any concerns you have noticed at home or school.
Using age-appropriate methods, we assess clarity of vision and whether a prescription may help.
Depending on age, we check focusing, eye alignment, and eye movement, and examine the health of the eyes.
We go over the findings with you and recommend when your child should come back.
School, Sports, and Screens
For school-age children near Crosby, the day can move from the classroom board to a tablet, then on to soccer, swimming, or music lessons. Each of these asks something a little different of their eyes. We will ask about your child's routine so the exam reflects how they actually use their vision.
Watch for signs such as squinting, sitting very close to screens, rubbing their eyes, losing their place while reading, or complaining of headaches. Some children simply avoid close work without explaining why. If anything has caught your attention, mention it when you book or at the start of the visit.
A friendly welcome for young patients.
Beyond the School Screening
School vision screenings can flag some concerns, but they are not designed to replace a comprehensive eye exam. A full exam lets your optometrist look beyond a distance chart at the visual skills and eye health that support learning. If your child did not pass a screening, or you still have concerns after a pass, it is worth booking a closer look.
Bring any notes from a teacher or screening, along with your child's current glasses if they have them. If glasses or another next step is recommended, we will explain why in clear terms. You will leave knowing what was found and when your child should return.
Each step explained before it begins.

Children can have eye exams from a young age. Let our team know your child's age when you book so we can arrange an appropriate appointment.
A screening is a helpful first check, but it does not assess everything a comprehensive exam does. If you have concerns, or it is time for routine care, a full exam is a good idea.
Yes. Parents and caregivers are welcome in the room and are encouraged to share what they have noticed.
Your optometrist will explain why glasses are recommended and how they are expected to help. Our team can also guide you through frame options suited to children.

Dr rawji and patty are great. I’ve been with them for over 10 years. He was concerned of an issue that I was getting and sent me to a specialist. Patty always make sure that I get Stylish classes every couple of years. Their new office is nice and it located close to 404 and 401.
