Expert Eye Care for Your Little Ones
Dr. Bryant and Dr. Mitchell are experts in pediatric eye care. They conduct thorough and gentle eye exams for children, identifying any concerns at any age. Our goal is to ensure your child’s vision is on the right track from the very beginning. We offer *free eye exams for children under 2*, making early eye care accessible to all families. Dr. Bryant and Dr. Mitchell recommend the first eye exam at 6 months, another before starting school, and then annual check-ups as your child grows. Regular eye exams are essential because children’s vision can change rapidly, and we want to stay ahead of any issues.
Understanding and Controlling Myopia
Myopia, or nearsightedness, is increasingly common among children, with 50% of people affected by it. Dr. Mitchell specializes in myopia control, an important aspect of pediatric eye care. Myopia occurs when the eye is longer than normal from front to back, or the cornea is too steeply curved, making distant objects appear blurry. While myopia can be corrected with glasses, contact lenses, or surgery, it also increases the risk of eye problems later in life, such as cataracts, glaucoma, and retinal detachment. Research suggests that children who spend more time indoors on near-focused activities, like computer work and reading, have higher rates of myopia. Encouraging outdoor play can help manage myopia progression.
Fun and Engaging Kids’ Corner
We know that a visit to the eye doctor can be daunting for kids, so we’ve created a fun and engaging Kids’ Corner to make their experience enjoyable. While waiting for their exams or for their parents to finish, children can play with a variety of tactile toys, including wooden blocks, trucks, and a dollhouse. They can also enjoy our 4-in-1 arcade games featuring classics like Mortal Kombat, Pac-Man, Rampage, and Galaga, as well as coloring books, puzzles, and a rock climbing cave under the stairs. Our Kids’ Corner is a place where children of all ages can have fun and feel comfortable.
