Why Pediatric Eye Care Matters
Children often rely on their vision to learn, explore, and connect with the world around them. However, vision issues in kids can sometimes go unnoticed, leading to challenges in school and daily life. Our goal is to identify these problems early and offer effective solutions. Common conditions that children may face include:
- Amblyopia: Also known as lazy eye, where one eye has reduced vision.
- Strabismus: Misaligned eyes causing visual discomfort or double vision.
- Refractive Errors: Conditions like nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism.
By addressing these issues with expert care, we help your child develop clear vision and build confidence.
