Children's Eye Exams Near Unionville
From the classroom to the soccer field, children rely on their eyes to learn and explore. Families from Unionville can visit our clinic for a relaxed, age-appropriate eye exam.
Growing Eyes, Patient Care
Children do not always know that what they see is different from what others see. Dr. Mustafa Rawji keeps each step simple and encouraging, explains what is happening in words children understand, and welcomes parents to stay close throughout the exam.
We give children time to answer, explain each step, and keep the pace comfortable for their age.
A full exam can look at focusing, eye teaming, eye movement, colour vision, and eye health.
You are welcome in the room, and we will walk you through the findings and any next steps.
What to Expect
Every exam is adjusted to your child's age and development. Here is the general flow of a visit.
We talk with you and your child about school, activities, screen use, and anything you have noticed at home.
Using age-appropriate methods, we assess clarity of vision and whether glasses may help.
Depending on age, we may check eye alignment, focusing, eye movement, depth perception, colour vision, and eye health.
We share the results in clear terms, discuss any recommendations, and suggest when to come back.
School, Sports, and Screens
Many Unionville families juggle school, music lessons, sports, and homework in a single week. Each of those activities asks something slightly different of a child's vision. During the exam, we ask about reading habits, screen time, and favourite activities so the visit reflects your child's real routine.
Signs worth mentioning include squinting, sitting very close to the television, holding books near the face, rubbing the eyes, or losing their place while reading. Some children adapt to blur without saying anything. That is one reason a routine exam can be helpful even when no problem seems obvious.
If glasses are recommended, frames are close at hand.
Planning Your Visit
Optima Eye Care is on Gordon Baker Road, near Victoria Park Avenue and Steeles Avenue East, just south of the Markham border. Families from Unionville often travel down Kennedy Road, Warden Avenue, or Highway 404. When booking, let us know your child's age so we can suggest a time that suits them.
A well-rested child often finds the visit easier, so consider a time of day when your child is usually at their best. You are welcome to tell us about anything that helps them feel comfortable, from a favourite topic to a past experience at the doctor. Small details like these help our team make the visit feel friendly.

A school screening is a helpful first check, but it does not replace a comprehensive eye exam. A full exam can look at visual skills and eye health that a distance chart does not cover.
Squinting, holding books close, sitting near screens, frequent eye rubbing, headaches, or losing their place while reading can all be worth discussing. Routine exams are also valuable when there are no obvious signs.
Yes. Parents and caregivers are welcome to stay and be part of the visit.
Yes. If your child is nearsighted, ask about our myopia management service. Your optometrist can explain whether it may be appropriate after assessing your child.
