Why Your Child Needs an Eye Exam Every Year

If your child passed the vision screening at school, it’s easy to assume their eyes are fine. That assumption, while understandable, can leave real problems undetected. School screenings are basic tools designed to flag obvious concerns, but they don’t evaluate the full picture of a child’s eye health. Conditions like early-stage myopia, amblyopia, and eye coordination issues are routinely missed, and children often don’t report blurry vision because they have nothing to compare it to.

At Vision Source Mandan, children’s eye exams are a priority for Dr. Brittany Schauer, Dr. Wayne Aberle, and Dr. Danielle Dyke. The team sees kids every year not because something seems wrong, but because annual exams catch what screenings can’t and give families the information they need to protect their child’s vision during the years it matters most.

What Our Clients Say

My annual eye exam is always an excellent experience with Dr. Danielle Dyke. The exam is always thorough, and Dr. Dyke takes the time to explain my eye health in a way I can understand. The Vision Source eye clinic is modern, clean, and the staff is very welcoming. I always feel comfortable and well-cared for at my appointment. I highly recommend Dr. Dyke and Vision Source!

Patricia G.

Dr. Schauer did an amazing job getting my eye infection cleared up. As I sat in my room waiting my turn, because I had a last minute appointment, I could hear her working with a family next door that had young kids.

Fred S.

Whenever I have had eye issues, they have made efforts to get me in asap. Which I really appreciate. I have had Dr. Aberle and Dr. Dyke and they are both excellent. Recently, I saw Dr. Aberle for a chronic eye problem in one eye & he fixed the problem. Honestly, it felt like a miracle. The office staff is also very pleasant to deal with.

Sheila S.

I've literally been a lifelong customer since 5th grade when it was Dr. Little! Dr. Schauer has taken over since Dr. Little retired. It's always a good, friendly experience with all of the staff there. I've never had a bad experience.

Bill S.

The front desk people are very nice and friendly got called in to see Wayne before my appointment time Vision Source has very friendly staff and the clinic is very clean will always be a patient to Vision Source.

Deborah C.

I was greeted by the front desk very efficiently. The person who did the first part of my history and did the testing like the little spritz in my eyes, etc, was very good. I really like my eye doctor, I feel that I get all my questions answered as well as she explains what she is seeing when she is examining my eyes.
