If you have a child that is in need of eye care, there is no better
Columbia optometrist for children than at Quality Optical of Columbia. There are many eye disorders or conditions that typically are specific to children. Some of the most common are amblyopia (lazy eye), blocked tear ducts, strabismus (crossed eyes), pediatric ptosis (drooping eyelid), epiphora (excessive tearing), astigmatism, nearsightedness, and farsightedness. These are only some of the eye disorders than can occur in children.
Columbia Pediatric Eye Exams
In order to make sure that is nothing inhibiting your child’s vision or affecting the health of their eyes, it is important that you and your child visit our
Columbia optometrist for regular exams throughout the different developmental stages of life. When your child is about three and a half, our Columbia optometrist should test your child’s visual acuity. At about age five, your child should undergo a vision and eye alignment evaluation. After that point, routine screenings and testings should take place regularly. There are certain symptoms that should hasten your visit to Quality Optical of Columbia if you notice them in your child. If you notice your child is squinting, or if he or she is constantly suffering from headaches, that may be a sign that your child needs glasses. If you notice this in your child, simply schedule an appointment with our
Columbia optometrist so we can test your child’s vision and determine how to proceed.
At Quality Optical of Columbia, we strive to create a comfortable, lighthearted, professional environment that you will feel confident including your child within. We combine education and prevention to teach your child about how to best take care of his or her eyes and to inform him or her about what treatment is taking place. If you have any questions about the pediatric eye care our Columbia optometrist can provide for your child, do not hesitate to call our office or to send us a message through the contact page on our website.
