As a parent, you want to ensure your children are healthy and happy, including their vision. Regular pediatric eye exams are essential in detecting potential vision problems early on. In addition, we can help prevent long-term issues and find the best eye doctor with experience in infant eye exams. Read below to discover how Eyes & Optics in Las Vegas, NV, can help your child.
Find the Best Optometrist
Our optometrist, Dr. Edward Malik, is a highly experienced optometrist who has been in private practice for 32 years. Dr. Malik deeply understands the latest techniques and technologies in optometry and is an expert in infant eye exams.
We recommend children have their first eye exam before they turn one year old. After that, they should have another eye exam at three and again before starting school. If there is a family history of eye problems, our optometrist may recommend more frequent eye exams.
Early Diagnosis
Early detection of vision problems in children is crucial in preventing potential vision loss. Some eye problems can make it difficult for kids to see the board at school, read, write, and play outdoors. By scheduling regular eye exams, you can ensure your child's vision is healthy and that any issues are addressed early.
What to Expect During Your Child's Visit
Our optometrist, Dr. Edward Malik, will evaluate your child's vision and health during a pediatric eye exam. We'll test how well your child can see objects and functions in various environments. The tests performed during a pediatric eye exam may include visual acuity, which measures your ability to see objects at different distances. We'll also test peripheral vision and eye coordination.
Relief for Dry Eyes in the Arid Desert Climate
Living in a desert region like Las Vegas can cause unique eye problems, like dry eye syndrome. Dry eye is a condition where the eye doesn't produce enough tears or when the tears evaporate too quickly. Symptoms of dry eye include redness, itching, and blurred vision.
