Pediatric ophthalmologists like Dr. David Young undergo special training to identify, treat, and manage children's eye problems. Early detection and treatment provide the best opportunity to correct vision problems, so your child can learn to see clearly. Dr. David Young received top training and is fully qualified to manage pediatric ocular problems with glasses, eye exercises/patching, medication, and eye surgery. Let us show you and your children how fun, easy, and rewarding a quality eye exam can be.
PEDIATRIC EYE EXAM
The American Academy of Ophthalmology and the American Academy of Pediatrics recommend a first eye exam at 6 months of age, again at the age of 3 or 4 and then every one to two years thereafter. Roughly eighty percent of what a child learns is through vision. Good vision is essential for a child's development and education. It is important for children to have a comprehensive eye exam as they may not recognize symptoms of poor vision or be able to communicate them properly. Some eye conditions are only seen in children and can be incredibly unique from those seen in adults. Many conditions, if not treated at a young age, can result in permanent vision loss.
