Pediatric Eye Exams in [tNorwell

Ensure your child’s vision is on track with comprehensive pediatric eye exams at South Shore Vision Care. We dedicate ourselves to supporting healthy visions for kids of all ages using advanced technology and a friendly approach.

Why Pediatric Eye Exams Matter

Your child’s vision is important for their school and play development. Routine pediatric eye exams help catch issues early, like nearsightedness, crossed eyes, or lazy eye. At , we focus on keeping your child’s eyes healthy and developing properly.

What to Expect During Your Child’s Eye Exam

Our pediatric eye exams use age-appropriate tests to evaluate how well your child can see and how their eyes function. This includes checking:

Visual Acuity: Ensuring your child can see clearly at various distances.

Eye Movement and Alignment: Make sure the eyes work together and track objects smoothly.

Focus and Depth Perception: Assessing how well your child focuses and sees depth is critical for school performance and sports.

We aim to create a relaxed, positive experience for kids while delivering the best care possible.

Common Vision Issues in Children

Finding vision problems early in children is important for successful treatment. At , we check for conditions like:

Amblyopia (Lazy Eye): A condition where one eye doesn’t develop properly, leading to vision issues.

Strabismus (Crossed Eyes): occurs when the eyes do not align properly, leading to issues with perceiving depth.

Myopia (Nearsightedness): Difficulty seeing things in the distance, often noticed in school-aged children.

Pediatric Dry Eye: A Growing Concern for Parents

With increased screen time, pediatric dry eye is becoming more common in children. Symptoms may include red or irritated eyes, frequent blinking, and blurry vision. This is especially true after using digital devices like tablets or computers. Left untreated, dry eye can affect your child’s comfort and ability to focus in and out of the classroom.

At South Shore Vision Care, we offer safe and effective treatments tailored to children. We start by identifying the underlying cause of dry eye, whether environmental factors, excessive screen use, or other issues. Our treatments focus on relieving discomfort, improving tear production, and protecting your child’s vision for the long term. Early treatment helps prevent further discomfort and ensures your child can see clearly during school and play time.
