Your child’s eyesight supports more than just how they see. It shapes how they learn, move, and feel every day. At Flamborough Family Eyecare, we offer children’s eye exams in Waterdown that are gentle, thorough, and tailored to the needs of real families.
Whether your child is starting kindergarten or struggling with screen time at school, we’re here with expert care and a calm, welcoming environment that Waterdown parents have trusted for over a decade.

Every child’s exam is tailored to their age, attention span, and comfort level. We use non-invasive, kid-friendly diagnostic tools, including high-resolution imaging when appropriate, to detect issues before symptoms start. Your child’s visit may include:
We explain every result in plain language so you know exactly how your child is doing and what comes next.
We proudly take part in Ontario’s Eye See…Eye Learn® program, which offers free eye exams and glasses to eligible kindergarten students. If your child is entering JK or SK and hasn’t had a recent exam, they may qualify for a fully covered visit and a complimentary pair of glasses.
