Most schools provide vision screening programs to identify children who have problems with eyesight. Although these provide a great opportunity to notice common vision problems, many vision issues go undetected in school exams. A comprehensive eye exam from an optometrist is needed to accurately diagnose a range of common pediatric vision issues.

Treatment of Pediatric Vision Issues

Although glasses may help with these pediatric vision issues, vision therapy is the most common course of treatment.

Successful vision therapy changes the eyes' functioning to facilitate clear vision.
