Pediatric Eye Exams Fruitland Park
Identify vision issues early to enhance your child’s learning
At Ram Eye Care and Retina Center, we specialize in pediatric eye exams in Fruitland Park. Since 1997, we have prioritized the significance of eye exams for children. We recommend scheduling your child’s first eye exam by 6 months of age, followed by another at age 3 and again when they start school. Most importantly, we advise annual eye exams throughout their school years. A child’s ability to learn during these critical years heavily relies on clear vision. Moreover, if your child already wears glasses or contacts, it is essential to have their eyes checked every year, as their vision can change quickly during growth. Contact our team today to schedule an appointment.
Here’s What to Expect During an Eye Examination
What Should Parents Watch For in Their Children’s Vision?
Good vision is essential for your child’s learning, development, and confidence. Parents should watch for early signs of vision problems—especially if eye issues run in the family.
During the toddler and preschool years, children develop important motor and hand-eye coordination skills that affect reading, writing, sports, and play. Keep an eye out for warning signs such as:
- Difficulty recognizing colors or letters
- Trouble with coordination or focusing
- Squinting or sitting too close to screens
- Frequent eye rubbing
For school-age children (6–18 years), vision problems can affect school performance and confidence. Common signs include:
- Losing their place while reading
- Excessive blinking or headaches
- Short attention span
- Avoiding reading aloud
- Poor comprehension or double vision
Regular eye exams are the best way to catch issues early and support your child’s success in school and daily activities. Encourage your child to share if they experience discomfort while reading or doing close-up tasks.

A Few Words From Our Customers
Dr. Ramchander has got to be one of the best eye doctors in Florida by far! He diagnosed me with macular degeneration and has been able to return my vision to nearly perfect in both eyes. I continue to be monitored on a 3 mo. basis and I’m absolutely confident in his abilities and extremely happy with his care. I would highly recommend him to anyone!
