Scarborough Children's Eye Exams
Children rely on their eyes for reading, play, and sports. Our clinic, just across Victoria Park Ave from Scarborough, offers relaxed exams that look at how your child sees and how healthy their eyes are.
Growing Eyes, Growing Minds
For parents in Scarborough, a children's eye exam is a simple way to understand how your child sees in the classroom and beyond. We explain each step in age-appropriate language and welcome you to stay with your child throughout.
We give children time to respond and keep the pace friendly, so the visit feels approachable.
Depending on age, we may assess clarity, focusing, eye alignment, eye movement, depth perception, and colour vision.
If glasses or another step is recommended, we explain why in clear, practical terms.
What to Expect
Every children's exam is tailored to age, development, and needs. Here is a typical flow.
We say hello, explain what we will do, and talk with you about school, reading, screens, and anything you have noticed at home.
Using age-appropriate methods, we assess visual clarity and whether there is any need for glasses.
Depending on age, we may check focusing, eye alignment, eye movement, depth perception, colour vision, and eye health.
We explain the results to you, and to your child when appropriate, and recommend when to return.
Beyond the School Screening
School vision screenings can be a helpful first check, but they mainly look at distance vision. A comprehensive exam goes further, assessing the focusing, tracking, and eye-teaming skills children use for reading and learning, along with overall eye health. If your child did not pass a screening, or you still have concerns after a pass, it is worth taking a closer look.
Children do not always know that their vision is different from anyone else's. They may adapt to blur or eye strain without saying a word. Signs such as squinting, sitting close to screens, rubbing their eyes, or losing their place while reading can all be reasons to book.
A comfortable place to wait with your child.
For Scarborough Parents
Many families in Scarborough's northern neighbourhoods, from L'Amoreaux to Milliken, find our Gordon Baker Road clinic an easy trip along Steeles or Finch. A back-to-school checkup or a visit after a teacher raises a concern are both good times to book. Tell our team your child's age when you call so we can arrange the right appointment.
You are welcome to share anything that helps your child feel at ease, from a favourite hobby to a past experience at the eye doctor. Bring their current glasses, any previous prescriptions, and notes from a teacher or school screening. You will leave with a clear understanding of the findings and what comes next.
If glasses are recommended, we will talk through the options.

Children can benefit from eye exams from a young age, and routine exams remain valuable as they grow. Tell us your child's age when booking and our team can help you arrange the right visit.
A school screening is a useful first check, but it does not replace a comprehensive eye exam, which looks at visual skills and eye health in more depth.
Yes. Parents and caregivers are welcome to be part of the visit and to ask questions along the way.
Your optometrist will explain why glasses are recommended and how they can help. You can also browse frames at our clinic after the exam.

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.
