Kids' Eye Exams Near Markham
Clear, comfortable vision helps children read, learn, and play. Just south of Steeles, our clinic offers patient, child-friendly exams that look at both vision and eye health.
Made for Young Patients
For parents near Markham, a children's eye exam is a chance to understand how your child sees in class, on the field, and at home. We take our time, use age-appropriate language, and keep you involved in every part of the visit.
We keep things friendly and encouraging so new equipment feels less intimidating.
We may check focusing, tracking, eye alignment, and how both eyes work together.
You are welcome in the room and encouraged to ask questions.
What to Expect
We tailor each exam to your child's age and development. A typical visit looks like this.
We introduce ourselves, explain what will happen, and ask about school, reading, screens, and sports.
With age-appropriate methods, we see how clearly your child sees and whether glasses may help.
Depending on age, we may assess eye alignment, focusing, eye movement, depth perception, colour vision, and eye health.
We explain findings and recommendations and suggest when your child should return.
Clues at Home and School
Kids often assume everyone sees the way they do, so blur or strain can go unmentioned. Watch for squinting, holding books very close, rubbing eyes, frequent headaches, or losing their place while reading. Trouble seeing the board or avoiding detailed near work can also be signs.
Even without obvious symptoms, routine exams are valuable because they look beyond a distance chart. Your optometrist will assess the visual skills and eye health that support learning and everyday activities. If anything needs attention, you will hear about it in clear, practical terms.

Convenient for Markham Parents
Between school, lessons, and weekend activities, Markham families have busy schedules. Our clinic sits just south of Steeles Ave E near Victoria Park Ave, a short drive down Warden, Woodbine, or Highway 404. Many parents book before the school year starts or soon after a teacher mentions a concern.
If you have more than one child to book, tell our team so we can help line up appointments. Bring your child's current glasses, past prescriptions, and any school screening results. You are also welcome to share your child's interests, which can help them feel at ease during the visit.
Our front desk can help coordinate sibling visits.

Squinting, sitting close to screens, holding books close, eye rubbing, headaches, losing their place while reading, or trouble seeing the board.
A screening is a useful first check but does not replace a comprehensive eye exam, which looks at visual skills and eye health in more detail.
Every exam is tailored to the child. Your optometrist will explain any additional testing before it happens and answer your questions.
Keep it simple and positive. Let them know they will look at pictures and lights, and that you can stay with them.

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.
