Pediatric Eye Care in Smithfield, RI
Pugliese Family Eye Care provides eye exams for children starting at 6 months old, with care that can continue through the school years and into the teen years. In our family-run eye clinic, parents can come for routine pediatric eye exams, prescription changes, and next-step support, such as myopia management when needed.
What to Do When You’re Not Sure What Your Child Is Seeing
Sometimes a child will tell you something looks blurry, but often the signs are more subtle. They may hold things close, lose focus while reading, squint, or simply seem to be working harder than they should to see comfortably.
We help parents get clearer answers through pediatric eye exams that look at how vision is developing, explain what we are seeing in a way that makes sense, and give families one trusted office to return to as their child grows.
Eye Exams for Infants and Young Children
Children can begin eye exams as early as 6 months old, which gives families a chance to monitor visual development before a child is old enough to describe what they are seeing.
Early exams help our optometrists in Smithfield look for concerns that could affect how a child sees, learns, and moves through daily life, while giving parents clear guidance on what is developing normally and what may need closer attention as their child grows.
School-Age Vision Changes & Myopia Management
School-age vision can change quickly, especially as a child becomes more nearsighted.
We help parents look beyond routine prescription updates with myopia management options like MiSight contact lenses and Stellest spectacle lenses, along with clear explanations of what those changes may mean and what the next step could be.
A Family Practice You Can Keep Coming Back To
As children grow, their eye care needs often change, too.
What starts with a pediatric eye exam may later lead to glasses, contact lenses, or other support, and Pugliese Family Eye Care offers families one office they can return to at each stage.
Because we care for patients from 6 months to 99+ years old, that relationship does not have to reset as children get older.
