A pediatric ophthalmologist or pediatric optometrist is an eye doctor who specializes in eye care for kids who are valuable resources for improving the child’s vision. They make careful diagnosis, manage ongoing conditions and suggest further treatment when necessary. Caring for a child’s eye health and eyesight are a critical part of overall well being that need to be overlooked. Taking time to work with doctors and monitoring a child’s visual habits from an early age increase the likelihood of enjoying healthy vision for years to come.
