The Latest in Pediatric Eye Care: Healthy Vision for Your Child
Ensuring your child’s vision is healthy is one of the most important steps you can take for their overall development and success.
At San Ramon Family Optometry, we specialize in pediatric eye care, offering the latest in diagnostics and treatments to protect and enhance your child’s eyesight from a young age.
The Importance of Early Detection
Children rely heavily on their vision for learning and development. Unfortunately, many vision problems in children can go undetected without proper eye exams. Early detection is key to addressing these issues before they impact your child’s academic performance, social interactions, and overall quality of life.
Common vision problems in children include:
- Myopia (Nearsightedness): Difficulty seeing distant objects clearly, often noticed when a child struggles with seeing the board in school.
- Hyperopia (Farsightedness): Trouble focusing on close objects, which can cause difficulty with reading and other close-up tasks.
- Amblyopia (Lazy Eye): A condition where one eye does not develop proper vision, leading to long-term visual impairment if not treated early.
- Strabismus (Crossed Eyes): Misalignment of the eyes, which can cause double vision and depth perception issues.
- Astigmatism: Blurred vision due to an irregular shape of the cornea, affecting both near and distant vision.
At San Ramon Family Optometry, we provide regular eye exams for children, starting at three or four, before starting school, and then annually. These exams help us monitor your child’s eye health and catch any issues early on, as 80% of their learning is visual. .
