Common Vision Problems in Children

Book Appointment

Childhood vision problems are more common than many parents realize. From nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism to conditions like lazy eye and crossed eyes, early detection and treatment are key to healthy eye development.

Our approach also includes myopia management to slow progression and protect your child’s vision for the future, ensuring they can see clearly, learn effectively, and thrive in daily activities.

Refractive Errors

Myopia (nearsightedness), hyperopia (farsightedness), and astigmatism are common in children. These conditions occur when the eye doesn’t focus light properly on the retina, a tissue at the back of the eye.

👉 The good news is that glasses can easily correct these problems, helping your child see clearly at all distances.

Amblyopia (Lazy Eye)

This condition happens when one eye doesn’t develop normal vision, even with glasses. Early detection and treatment are key to helping both eyes develop properly.

Treatment often involves teaching the weaker eye to work harder.

Strabismus (Crossed Eyes)

When the eyes don’t align properly, this can cause double vision and interfere with depth perception. This is called strabismus. Some children develop this condition as babies, while others develop it later.

👉 Treatment options vary depending on severity and can include glasses, eye exercises, or other interventions to help the eyes work together.

Myopia Management

Nearsightedness is becoming especially common in children, partly due to increased screen time and less outdoor activity. We offer treatments designed to slow the progression of myopia.

These approaches can help reduce how much your child’s prescription changes over time, potentially preventing more serious eye problems later in life.
