Kids don’t always say when something’s wrong with their eyes. In fact, they may not even know. That’s why early and routine pediatric eye exams are crucial—even if your child seems fine.

At Orbit Eye Center, we specialize in age-appropriate eye care for children—from toddlers to teens. Led by Dr. Walid, our pediatric evaluations are designed to detect subtle signs early—before they affect your child’s learning or development.

Hidden Vision Problems in Children

Some common eye conditions in kids aren’t always visible at first:

– Amblyopia (lazy eye) – One eye doesn’t develop normal vision
– Strabismus (squint) – Eyes point in different directions
– Refractive errors – Blurry vision from nearsightedness or astigmatism
– Convergence issues – Difficulty focusing on near tasks like reading

These can lead to difficulty in school, poor hand-eye coordination, or even long-term vision loss if not treated early. In many cases, these issues are only discovered when a child begins struggling academically or avoids activities that require clear vision.

Early detection through professional eye exams can dramatically improve outcomes. With proper treatment—whether it’s glasses, vision therapy, or a customized care plan—children often show rapid improvement in focus, behavior, and confidence.

What Sets Orbit Eye Center Apart?

We don’t just ask your child to read letters on a chart. Depending on their age, we use:

– Picture matching and light-based tools
– Vision therapy evaluations (if needed)
– A calm, child-friendly environment to make kids feel at ease

We also involve parents every step of the way—explaining results, showing how vision affects development, and offering guidance on home support. It’s not just about vision—it’s about helping children thrive in every environment they learn and play in.

When Should Children Have Eye Exams?

– First eye check: Between 6–12 months
– Second check: Around age 3
– Before starting school: Age 5–6
– Then every 1–2 years, or as advised by your eye doctor
