Pediatric eye care, because children are NOT simply small adults

• Children have different eye conditions than adults
• They often have trouble telling us what is bothering them
• More often than not, a child cannot answer medical questions
• A child's brain is still developing, particularly the areas involved in vision

A child with a vision problem should see a PEDIATRIC ophthalmologist because these specialists:

• Have equipment specially designed for use with children
• Know how to examine and treat children in a way that helps them to relax and cooperate
• Have arranged and decorated their offices with children in mind, providing a comfortable and non-threatening environment for your child
