Pediatric Eye Care: Why Is It Important?

Concerned that your child's eyesight may be hindering their development?
Does your child's eyes appear misaligned?

Studies show that up to 10% of young children have vision problems. However, kids generally aren't aware there's an issue, and don't complain about their eyes. It is therefore crucial to detect the first signs of vision problems before complications arise.

Give them the clear vision and healthy eyes they deserve by visiting our Exton pediatric eye doctor at Clompus Reto and Halscheid Vision - Exton.

4 Signs Your Child May Have a Vision Problem

Trouble seeing electronic screens

Your child sits very close, tilts their head or squints to better see TVs, computer screens and other electronic screens.
Difficulty reading or following moving objects

Your child often loses their place while reading, or can’t track a ball as it moves when playing sports.
Headaches & eye strain

Your child complains of tired eyes or headaches after performing tasks that are visually intensive, such as reading or writing.
Missed milestones

Your child may miss milestones such as crawling and walking, or show signs of poor depth perception.

For your child to successfully engage in sports and achieve their academic potential, they need to have healthy eyes and clear vision. The experienced and caring children's eye doctors at Clompus Reto and Halscheid Vision - Exton will carefully examine their eyes and provide guidance to ensure your child’s healthy vision.

Pediatric Eye Care FAQs

How do you take care of children's eyes?

Make sure they wear sunglasses and a hat to protect their eyes from dangerous UV rays when outside.
Increase the time they spend outdoors.
Make sure they eat their fruits and veggies. Fruits and veggies high in lutein and zeaxanthin have been found to protect eyes from free radical damage.
Schedule regular pediatric eye exams. Detecting and treating eye conditions and diseases commonly found in children, such as strabismus and amblyopia, can help prevent unnecessary struggles and vision problems later in life. The pediatric eye doctor will also check your child’s vision for refractive errors and visual skill deficiencies that might hinder your child’s development.

During my annual eye exam on 5/21/25, my O.D. [and part time super sleuth], Dr. Jillian Penney, of C... Show MoreRH Vision found a hole in my retina not previously seen / nor reported. Dr. Penney , working together with Dr. Ward and the team at Chester County Eye Care Assoc were fabulous. The two EXTRAORDINARY customer service teams were able to make room an appointment for me with one of ChesCo Eye Assoc premier Retinal Specialists, Dr. Michael J. Ward for 1:30. For context, the hole was discovered at about 11:45. Dr. Ward and his team were wonderful to work with, just as Dr. Penney’s team had been! Dr.Ward et al, were Laser-focused on my wHOLE problem [puns intended] Listened intently, not easy with my vocal cord paresis weakened voice They worked as “Fast and Furious” as excellent medical care delivery allowed, Dr. Ward confirmed the hole, explained the options, likely cause and ramifications if left untreated. It was a no-brainer. Off to the laser room I went (much to my wife’s surprise) seeking treatment that quite likely would be saving my vision, especially compared to a do-nothing-decision. In about 5 minutes (though it felt more like 15!), Dr Ward had lasered the hole closed! By 2:30, I was on my way home with one less hole in my head. PHEW, make that a double PHEW for me please. As one of my wise beyond-her-years daughters astutely noted “that was better and faster service than a drive thru …” FOR SURE! Vin Diesel and Paul Walker would have been mightily impressed, I am certain! Fingers crossed none of you ever gets to enjoy so much fun but, just in case, it’s very comforting to know there are still people and organizations that think like this, act like this and deliver results like this!

My sincere gratitude! J P FOOTNOTE: size is IN THE EYE of the beholder. To wit, A “little hole” is what happens to the proverbial “you”, no matter the actual size, ANY extra holes in MY head are MAMMOTH!’ 😂🤷‍♂️🤣
