The Crucial Stages of Pediatric Eye Care
Infant eye exams are essential to ensure your baby’s eyes are developing correctly. We check for common infant vision issues, such as lazy eye (amblyopia), crossed eyes (strabismus), and other conditions that can significantly affect a child’s vision if left untreated.
Early detection allows for treatments that can correct or significantly improve these conditions, setting the foundation for healthy vision.
As your child starts exploring the world, toddler eye exams become crucial in ensuring that their vision is developing as it should. This stage is all about prevention and early intervention. We look for any signs that could hinder their ability to learn and interact with their surroundings, ensuring that nothing stands in the way of their curiosity and growth.
Before and throughout the school years, regular eye exams are vital. Clear vision is closely linked to learning; in fact, about 80% of what a child learns in school is presented visually. We focus on screening for vision issues that can affect reading, writing, and concentration, such as nearsightedness (myopia), farsightedness (hyperopia), and astigmatism.
