North York Children's Eye Exams
Children rely on their eyes for reading, play, and sports. Our Gordon Baker Road clinic offers relaxed, age-appropriate exams that help you understand how your child sees.
Made for Young Patients
Kids do not always notice when their vision is different from everyone else's. Dr. Mustafa Rawji and our team welcome North York families with a patient, friendly approach, explaining each step in simple words and making room for your questions as a parent.
We give children time to respond and explain each step in language that fits their age.
Depending on age, we may look at focusing, eye teaming, eye movement, colour vision, and eye health.
You are welcome to stay with your child, share what you have noticed, and ask questions along the way.
What to Expect
Every children's exam is adapted to your child's age and development. Here is how a typical appointment unfolds.
We say hello, learn a little about your child, and talk with you about any concerns at home or school.
Using age-appropriate activities, we assess clarity of vision and whether glasses may help.
Depending on age, we may check focusing, eye alignment, eye movement, depth perception, and the health of the eyes.
We explain the findings in plain language and discuss any recommended next steps and follow-up timing.
Learning and Play
From copying notes off the board to reading a chapter book, school asks a lot of a child's eyes. A child who squints, sits very close to screens, rubs their eyes, or loses their place while reading may be working harder to see than they let on. Children often adapt to blur without mentioning it, so these small signs are worth sharing with us.
Many North York families juggle busy school weeks, after-school activities, and long stretches of screen time. Tell us about your child's routine, their favourite activities, and anything a teacher has mentioned. These details help your optometrist focus the exam on what matters for your child's learning and play.
A comfortable place to wait with your child.
Beyond the Screening
School vision screenings can flag some concerns, but they do not replace a comprehensive eye exam. A full exam lets your optometrist look beyond distance vision to the visual skills and eye health that support everyday learning. If your child did not pass a screening, or you have concerns despite a passed result, an exam is a good next step.
If glasses or another next step is recommended, we explain why in clear, practical terms. You will leave knowing what was found, what the options are, and when your child should come back. Our goal is for both you and your child to feel comfortable with the plan.
Each visit is tailored to your child's age.

Children can have eye exams from a young age, and exams are adapted to their stage of development. Tell our team your child's age when booking so we can arrange the right appointment.
A screening checks a limited set of skills. A comprehensive exam looks more closely at visual skills and eye health, so it can still be valuable even after a passed screening.

Your optometrist will explain why glasses are recommended and how they may help. Our team can also help you explore frame options suited to your child.

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.
