Pediatric Eye Care

Vision develops rapidly starting at birth and is tied to many developmental milestones, such as hand-eye coordination and reading. In the long term, your child's vision will impact their learning, playing, and interactions with the world.

While there may be some obvious signs of visual disorders, many vision problems can only be detected by a qualified eye doctor during a comprehensive eye exam.

Strabismus

Strabismus is one of the most common eye conditions in children. Strabismus occurs when the eyes are not aligned properly. One or both of your child's eyes may turn inward, outward, upward, or downward.

Your child can be born with strabismus, or it can be acquired later in life. Strabismus can also develop due to an accident or other health problem. In some children, strabismus is intermittent, while in others, it is always present.

What Our Patients Say

"We had an amazing experience, the entire staff were amazing. I couldn't believe how awesome the assistants were with helping to get children to comply and also just entertaining them while parents ask questions to the doctor. Our doctor was really phenomenal, very knowledgeable and confident while patiently explaining things- I never felt rushed. She was exceptional with our child and found the diagnoses quickly. She works so well with children."

"Fantastic care from the team. My son is nonverbal autistic and I was worried about the level of care he would receive. Generally throwing up and meltdowns are expected at any type of examinations but the ophthalmologist had such wonderful bedside manner that my son not only did not have any of his usual problems but left happy and received a full eye exam. A true God sent."

"Fabulous! Dr. Arnold and his team are incredible. I’m very grateful for his expertise. He works wonders with little ones! The entire staff was so welcoming and kind. Best place for pediatric eye care, by far."

"What a great place to bring children. First-class facility and great staff!"

"These guys are amazing with children! I would really recommend coming here if your kiddos are experiencing difficulties with their vision."
