Pediatric Eye Care: Why Is It Important?

  • Concerned that your child's eyesight may be hindering their development?
  • Does your child's eyes appear misaligned?

Studies show that up to 10% of young children have vision problems. However, kids generally aren't aware there's an issue, and don't complain about their eyes. It is therefore crucial to detect the first signs of vision problems before complications arise.

Give them the clear vision and healthy eyes they deserve by visiting our Durham pediatric eye doctor at Durham Family Eye Care.

4 Signs Your Child May Have a Vision Problem

  • Trouble seeing electronic screens

    Your child sits very close, tilts their head or squints to better see TVs, computer screens and other electronic screens.

  • Difficulty reading or following moving objects

    Your child often loses their place while reading, or can't track a ball as it moves when playing sports.

  • Headaches & eye strain

    Your child complains of tired eyes or headaches after performing tasks that are visually intensive, such as reading or writing.

  • Missed milestones

    Your child may miss milestones such as crawling and walking, or show signs of poor depth perception.

For your child to successfully engage in sports and achieve their academic potential, they need to have healthy eyes and clear vision. The experienced and caring children's eye doctors at Durham Family Eye Care will carefully examine their eyes and provide guidance to ensure your child's healthy vision.

I went for my contact lens recheck this week, following a prescription change. I decided to also lo... ok at updating my glasses. There was a new optometrist, who mentioned it being her first day. She made excellent frame suggestions and gave me honest opinions. As an indecisive person at baseline her suggestions were very much appreciated. I ultimately decided on a frame she recommended, which was not something I’d have even tried on if left to my own devices. The frames are spot on, and I’m looking forward to wearing them!
