Frequently Asked Questions

At what age should my child have their first eye exam?
Children should have their first comprehensive eye exam at around 6 months of age. Further exams should be scheduled at ages 3 and 5, and then every 1-2 years thereafter, depending on their eye health.
What are common eye problems in children?
Common issues include refractive errors (like nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism), lazy eye (amblyopia), misaligned eyes (strabismus), blocked tear ducts, and eye infections.
How can I tell if my child has a vision problem?
Watch for signs such as frequent eye rubbing, squinting, tilting the head to see better, closing one eye, holding objects close to the face, sensitivity to light, and complaints of headaches or eye pain.
What is amblyopia (lazy eye) and how is it treated?
Amblyopia occurs when one eye doesn’t develop normal sight during early childhood. Treatment may involve wearing an eye patch over the stronger eye to force the weaker eye to work, or using special eye drops to blur vision in the stronger eye.
Can my child wear contact lenses instead of glasses?
Yes, contact lenses can be an option for children, depending on their age, maturity, and ability to handle and care for the lenses. Your pediatric ophthalmologist can help determine if contact lenses are suitable.
Are there ways to prevent my child from needing glasses?
Some eye conditions, like nearsightedness (myopia), may have genetic components. However, encouraging outdoor activities and limiting screen time for young children may help reduce the risk of developing certain vision problems.
What should I do if my child gets something in their eye or has an eye injury?
Rinse their eye with clean water if possible, but avoid rubbing it. Seek medical attention immediately if the object or injury seems serious, or if your child is in significant pain or discomfort.
When should my child see a pediatric ophthalmologist instead of a regular eye doctor?
A pediatric ophthalmologist specializes in children's eye care, especially in cases of complex eye conditions or when a child requires specialized treatment or surgery. Your regular eye doctor may refer you to a pediatric specialist if necessary.
