80% of what a child learns is through their vision and Metro Eye is dedicated to helping children maximize their academic, social and athletic potential. Metro Eye’s optometrists examine not only eye health and what kids see, but how efficiently their eyes work together to see it.
Your child’s first dilated eye exam should be at 6 months of age, to ensure that their anatomical eye health is good and the visual acuity is ideal for healthy mental development.

Metro Eye participates in the InfantSEE program, which is a public health program managed by ‘Optometry Cares – The AOA Foundation.’ Under this program, Metro Eye provides comprehensive eye assessments to infants between 6 and 12 months of age as a no-cost public service.
