Ophthalmology (Eye Care)

When to See a Pediatric Ophthalmologist

Poor vision during childhood can lead to problems with learning and sports activities, and result in issues of self-esteem and socialization. You should consider making an appointment with a pediatric eye specialist if you notice warning signs such as these in your child:

• One eye wandering out of alignment
• Closing one eye and focusing only with the other
• Habitual squinting
• Frequently looking sideways out of the corner of the eye or up and down
• Complaints of blurring, double vision, and headaches
• Rubbing eyes frequently
• Avoiding vision-dependent activities
