When children experience difficulties with their vision, it can significantly impact their school work and daily activities. If you reside in the Las Vegas area and are searching for the best optometrist nearby, contact Eyes & Optics. Our skilled eye care professionals have years of experience conducting pediatric eye exams.
All the tasks performed in a standard eye exam are typically safe for children. Kids’ eye exams use the same procedures as adult eye exams: the optometrist will examine their eyes and ask them to read eye charts. If your child needs glasses, the doctor will use similar measuring tools to those used for adults. During the appointment, the doctor will discuss preventive measures for common childhood eye problems.
A fearful child may have difficulty sitting still. You may be asked to hold your child in your lap to help them stay calm. Since your child may receive eye drops, which can cause some discomfort, it’s a good idea to bring some children’s pain relief medication to the appointment. Also, inform your child that they will need to wear sunglasses after getting eye drops.
One common pediatric eye problem in a desert area like Las Vegas is dry eye. Your child may complain of symptoms related to dry eyes due to the arid climate. The team at Eyes & Optics can provide advice on how to address this issue.
