Kids' Eye Exams Near Steeles
Families near Steeles can visit our clinic just across Victoria Park Avenue for a relaxed, child-friendly exam that looks at vision, visual skills, and eye health.
Supporting Every Stage
Children use their eyes for reading, sports, screens, and play. Dr. Mustafa Rawji tailors each exam to your child's age and development, and keeps the visit friendly for kids from the Steeles neighbourhood and beyond.
Age-appropriate methods mean even kids who cannot read letters yet can take part comfortably.
Depending on the visit, we may assess focusing, tracking, eye alignment, depth perception, and colour vision.
Parents and caregivers are welcome in the room and encouraged to share what they notice.
What to Expect
Your child's exam is adapted to their age and needs. Here is what you can usually expect.
We get to know your child and hear any concerns from home or school.
Using age-appropriate tests, we check visual clarity and whether a prescription may help.
Depending on the visit, we may look at alignment, focusing, eye movement, and eye health.
We explain what we found and any recommended next steps in clear, simple terms.
In the Classroom
A child who struggles to see the board, avoids reading, or complains of headaches after school may be dealing with a vision concern. Some children also squint, tilt their head, or hold books very close. These signs are worth bringing to an optometrist.
Many vision concerns are not obvious, and children often assume everyone sees the way they do. A comprehensive exam goes further than a school screening and can uncover issues that a distance chart alone might miss. Bring any screening results or teacher notes you have.

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.
