Children & Teen Vision

If you are a child or teenager worried about vision problems, you probably have to look to the winding coils of your DNA for the answer—most eyesight conditions for this age group are genetic. Thankfully, most schools organize routine yearly eye exams for children to detect their vision. If you have a baby or toddler who can’t voice or articulate their eye problems, you should look out for warning signs—white pupils, drooping lids and cross eyes are all easily recognized symptoms of an irregularity in your child’s vision. If a child seems to have been born with an enlarged cornea, has watery eyes and avoids sunlight, they could have glaucoma. It may not be pretty, but it could also be symptomatic of a need for diabetic eye care—even at such an early age.

Children’s eyes are also more inclined to become infected, by virtue of kids’ seemingly inherent germiness. Find out today what steps you can take to prevent a harmful infection! Call the number listed on this screen or fill out our convenient contact form for more helpful info…today!
