Pediatric Optometry

Pediatric optometry is a specialized area of eye care focused on the vision needs of children. Pediatric optometrists perform eye exams to check for refractive errors (like nearsightedness or farsightedness), eye disorders, and developmental issues related to vision. They also provide guidance on eye health and visual skills essential for learning and daily activities. By addressing these concerns early, pediatric optometrists help ensure that children develop strong vision and can participate fully in school and play, laying a foundation for a lifetime of healthy vision.
