Caring for Growing Eyes With Patience & Purpose

We don’t just check your child’s vision. We build their confidence, support their development, and help you understand what their eyes might be telling you.

A Calm, Clear Start to Lifelong Vision Care

Dr. Mini sees pediatric care through two lenses. One is a seasoned optometrist and the other a mother, bringing both perspectives to every child’s visit. Whether your little one is nervous, curious, or still learning their letters, we take the time to build trust before beginning any exam.

We start exams around age three, when early detection can make all the difference for reading, learning, and confidence in school. You’ll never be rushed, and you’ll always leave with practical, parent-friendly guidance—no jargon, no guesswork, and no pressure to decide on the spot.

What We Look For at your child's exam

Your child’s exam will include age-appropriate screening for: 

  • Nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism 
  • Amblyopia (lazy eye) and strabismus (eye turn) 
  • Eye teaming, tracking, and focusing issues 
  • Signs of digital eye strain from screen use 
  • Visual development milestones 

We walk parents through every step in simple terms and adjust our approach based on your child’s needs, personality, and comfort level. If glasses are needed, we help you find the right fit. Something your child will actually want to wear. 

Inclusive Care That Speaks Your Language

Our clinic reflects the families we serve. We offer exams in English, Spanish, and Malayalam so you can talk through concerns in the language that feels most natural to you. We also understand that cultural comfort matters, especially when children are involved. From first-time exams to long-term care, we aim to create a space where your family feels seen, heard, and supported.

Growing With Your Child

We believe in long-term relationships, not one-time appointments. Many of our youngest patients grow up with us, and that continuity means better care through every stage.

Whether it’s their first exam or they’re prepping for school vision screenings, we’ll be here with a gentle approach, a steady hand, and a care plan that fits. 

Give Your Child the Gift of Clear, Confident Vision

From their first eye exam to every milestone after, we’re here to help your child see the world clearly, and feel comfortable every step of the way.
