Coordinating multiple appointments across different days and times can feel like solving a jigsaw puzzle with missing pieces. With school pickups, soccer practice, and work meetings, finding time for comprehensive eye exams for each family member often gets pushed aside. That’s precisely why group scheduling for family eye exams just makes sense.
At Family Optometric Group, found right here in Oxnard, we’ve prioritized streamlining care without compromising quality. Our practice includes a children’s optical selection to help young patients feel right at home, and our expert optometrists—Drs. Thomas, Jack, and Patrick Holden, and Dr. Lisa Knapp—have years of experience providing eye care for all ages, from toddlers to grandparents.
What Are Family Eye Exams
Family eye exams are back-to-back or concurrent appointments scheduled for all family members during one visit. Everyone receives a comprehensive eye exam tailored to their age, health history, and lifestyle, whether it's a parent, teenager, or young child. With one visit to the office, your whole family can stay updated on vision prescriptions. You can also check eye development and spot early signs of issues like myopia or glaucoma.
This approach simplifies your calendar and ensures no one’s eye health falls through the cracks.
The Benefits of Family Eye Exams at Family Optometric Group
Getting everyone in the family checked during one visit isn’t just convenient—it’s smart care. Here are some of the top benefits you can expect from family eye exams:
Saves Time and Reduces Stress
Instead of multiple appointments scattered throughout the year, group scheduling means one coordinated visit. That’s fewer days off work, fewer school absences, and less driving back and forth.
Keeps Everyone on a Consistent Schedule
Eye health changes over time, especially in children, who may need more frequent prescription updates. Regular, annual eye exams for everyone mean we can catch shifts in vision early and make adjustments right away.
Builds Healthy Habits for Children
Bringing your child to the same office you go to helps normalize eye care. When children see their parents and siblings getting exams too, it reinforces that eye health is a lifelong priority.
Encourages Open Conversations About Vision
Sometimes children or teens won’t mention vision issues unless someone else brings it up. Family appointments create a natural opportunity to discuss symptoms, screen time, and even eyewear preferences.
Services You Can Expect at a Family Eye Exam
Whether it’s your child’s first eye exam or your own check-up, our team at Family Optometric Group offers complete care. We use the latest tools and provide a gentle, personal touch. Here's what we can include in your eye care:
