Services Offered:

• Comprehensive Pediatric Eye Exam: Our family-friendly environment ensures a comfortable experience for your child, while our skilled team conducts thorough pediatric eye exams.

• Amblyopia (Lazy Eye) Management: Amblyopia is a condition where one eye has reduced vision due to the brain favoring the other eye. Our specialized interventions involve a combination of corrective measures and vision therapy to stimulate visual acuity development in the weaker eye.

• ​​​​​​​Strabismus (Eye Misalignment) Management: Strabismus, or eye misalignment, is addressed through personalized approaches. Our management includes vision therapy and corrective measures to enhance eye alignment, promoting improved eye coordination.

• Vision Therapy: Vision therapy is a personalized program designed to enhance visual skills and alleviate vision problems. It involves various exercises and activities tailored to individual needs, promoting improved visual processing and overall eye health.

• Myopia Management: We specialize in managing myopia (nearsightedness) in children. Myopia, where distant objects appear blurry, can be controlled through various approaches:

1. Prescription Eyewear: Glasses or contact lenses to correct vision.

2. Orthokeratology (Ortho-K): Specially designed lenses worn overnight to reshape the cornea temporarily.

3. Atropine Eye Drops: Low-dose atropine eye drops to slow down myopia progression.

4. Lifestyle Interventions: Encouraging outdoor activities and reducing prolonged near-work activities.

Vision Protection: We prioritize the vision protection of your little ones, offering guidance on preventive measures to maintain optimal eye health. Our team educates parents and children on eye safety practices to ensure a lifetime of clear and comfortable vision.

Why Children Need an Eye Exam: Regular pediatric eye exams are crucial for identifying and addressing potential vision issues early on. Children may not always communicate visual concerns, making routine exams essential for early detection.

When Should Children Receive an Eye Exam and How Regularly:

• First Exam: The American Optometric Association recommends the first eye exam at 6 months.

• Preschool Age: Another exam at age 3.

• Before School Entry: A comprehensive eye exam before starting school.

• Regular Check-ups: Yearly exams thereafter ensure ongoing monitoring of your child's eye health.

Conditions Addressed: We specialize in addressing various pediatric eye conditions, including cataracts and glaucoma, ensuring that your child's vision is well-protected and optimized for their overall well-being.
