CHILDREN’S EYE CARE

Every child deserves the best start to create the brightest future. As a parent or caregiver, watching your children excel in school is beyond gratifying.

Visual problems during the early stages of childhood has a major impact in brain function development. Poor vision, early in life, can provoke permanent deficits in higher levels of the brain; areas responsible for things such as attention.

Healthy eyes and clear vision are essential during childhood development. Children with visual disorders can have difficulty learning in different environments. They tend to fall behind at school and lose confidence in their academic abilities.

Children usually become frustrated trying to articulate the problem– in fact, they may not even be able to explain it. Early detection and treatment provide the upmost opportunity to correct vision problems so your child can learn to see clearly.

Do not wait for school. If you have any questions regarding your child’s vision, do not hesitate to schedule an eye exam.
