A child squinting in class, sitting closer to the board, rubbing their eyes at night — those are signals. But children often don't even know their vision is blurry: to them, that's just how the world looks. That's why annual exams matter.
100% covered by RAMQ
For every child from 0 to 17, a complete eye exam is covered each year by RAMQ. No cost, no cap. Bring your child's health insurance card — that's all you need.
What we check
- Visual acuity at distance and up close.
- Binocular vision (are both eyes working together?).
- Detection of myopia, hyperopia or astigmatism.
- Overall ocular health (fundus, pressure).
- Signs of strabismus or lazy eye (amblyopia), which are treatable early.
