Little eyes constantly change as children grow and develop, making regular eye care essential. We provide pediatric eye care in Pearl River and Picayune to ensure your child’s vision is on the right track. Our eye doctors understand the unique needs of young patients and provide thorough, gentle eye exams to detect any issues early.

Why Are Pediatric Eye Exams Important?

Early detection of vision problems ensures proper visual development and overall health. Undiagnosed vision problems can lead to difficulties with reading, poor hand-eye coordination, and even behavioral issues. Regular pediatric eye exams can help identify:

• Refractive Errors: Such as nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism
• Amblyopia (Lazy Eye): Early treatment can prevent long-term vision problems
• Strabismus (Crossed Eyes): Identifying and treating misalignment of the eyes
• Eye Health Issues: These include infections, allergies, and more

When Should Your Child Have an Eye Exam?

• The first exam is at six months
• A preschool exam at age three
• An exam before starting school and every two years after that

Signs of Vision Issues

• Frequent squinting
• Eye rubbing
• Complaints of headaches
• Holding books very close
• Sitting too close to the TV
• Difficulty maintaining focus on schoolwork
• Poor hand-eye coordination during sports and play
• Covering one eye or tilting their head to see better
• Sensitivity to light

If your child exhibits any of these signs, schedule an eye exam at Advanced Eyecare, LLC .
