Pediatric eye care is different from adult eye care because eye disorders that have little effect on adults can lead to life-long problems in children. Poor vision associated with inadequate brain cell stimulation, or lazy eye, is a common problem among children. Seeing an eye doctor you trust, helps prevent serious vision problems and eye disorders.
Highly trained experts at Suburban Eye Associates treat the following pediatric eye problems in children of all ages:
The dedicated multidisciplinary team offers safe, effective care for children at all Suburban Eye Associates locations. Onsite ophthalmic imaging and diagnostic testing improve vision and eye health outcomes in children.
When your child arrives at an eye appointment, their provider reviews their symptoms and medical history. They complete a dilated eye exam to evaluate eye health and vision tests to screen for nearsightedness, farsightedness, astigmatism, and other vision problems.
Your child’s eye specialist might complete diagnostic testing procedures, such as electroretinogram to measure electrical activity in the eyes, ocular coherence tomography (OCT) to view the retina, ocular ultrasound, topography, and screening for diabetic eye damage or sickle cell disease.
Experts at Suburban Eye Associates use the latest advances in ophthalmology technology and procedures specifically adapted for kids.
If your child’s provider detects vision issues or problems with eye health, they tailor a treatment plan to your child’s specific needs. Some of the numerous pediatric eye care treatments available at Suburban Eye Associates include:
Highly trained specialists offer eye muscle surgery, cataract surgery, retina surgery, and other children’s eye surgeries to straighten the eyes or open blocked tear ducts.
