Strabismus (cross-eye), AMBLYOPIA (lazy eye) and other eye conditions such as HYPERMETROPIA, MYOPIA or ASTIGMATISM are common problems. Our optometrists can successfully assess children’s eyesight from their first few months of life. The Quebec Association of Optometrists recommends having the first eye examination as soon as 6 months to prevent the onset of vision problems. When caught early, the effects of eye defects or diseases, as well as potential long-term implications, are reduced.
