Pediatric Services
Healthy eyes and good vision are critically important components of any child's ability to learn. In fact, 80 percent of learning is visually based - one reason why the American Optometric Association recommends that every baby receive a vision examination between 6 -12 months of age. At University Optometric Center, we provide comprehensive eye care to patients from infancy to adolescence, delivered by residency-trained Doctors of Optometry who understand how to put a frightened youngster at ease.
Appointments are available Monday through Saturday. After school appointments are available to facilitate timely examinations, treatment, and appropriate follow-up care.
Comprehensive Eye Examinations Including:
- Eye and general health history
- Refraction and prescription of lenses for nearsighted and farsighted children
- Binocular assessment, including assessment of lazy eye and crossed eyes
- Eye health evaluation
- Visual development evaluation
- Identification of learning related vision problems
Following the initial exam, our staff will provide appropriate management, follow-up care and, if needed, referral to our Specialty Services for young patients.
