Kids can't always tell you when something looks blurry — because to them, it's just how the world looks.

That's why vision screening at every well-child visit matters so much. At Fairway Children's Medical

Group, we use the Welch Allyn SPOT Vision Screener — a handheld, non-invasive device that detects risk

factors for lazy eye, nearsightedness, farsightedness, astigmatism, and eye misalignment in children as

young as six months old. It takes just seconds, requires zero cooperation from your child, and gives us

immediate results — no eye chart, no covering one eye, no guessing.

Catching vision problems early is everything. Conditions like amblyopia — lazy eye — are highly treatable

when found young, but become much harder to correct as a child gets older. A missed vision issue can

silently affect how your child reads, focuses in school, and develops socially — and most kids won't even

complain about it. That's why we don't wait for a problem to show up — we screen for it at every visit,

so nothing gets missed and your child always has the clearest possible start.
