Pediatric Optometry

Raleigh and Pediatric OptometryThere is a major responsibility for parents to ensure that their children receive regular eye exams. Vision is very important and it should be monitored and maintained, especially during the growing years. There are several reasons why you should see a pediatric optometrist in Raleigh. Before you decide that it is not as important as other doctor appointments, you should consider some of the main reasons that make it a staple check-up.

Vision Issues Can Affect Grades

When children cannot see very well, not only is their vision affected but you will notice other changes as well. One of the main things that will happen is that grades in school can drop. Often, this occurs because children that cannot see fall behind. If they cannot see the board or their book, how are they going to understand the concepts? Many children are visual learners and if they cannot see they cannot learn to their fullest potential. However, you may not notice this if your child is not a visual learner but it is still a possibility because they may not be able to see the words on the page to learn through reading. By maintaining regular visits to the eye doctor as a child, you can avoid this and keep them seeing well and excelling in school.

Vision Issues Are Commonly Mistaken For ADHD

Another thing that can happen when children have vision issues is that when they start doing poorly in school, many other doctors may mistake this behavior as ADHD or other attention deficit syndromes. However, if they cannot see, this is not a case of ADHD. Instead, it is a case of not being able to see and stopping the effort to do so. More often than not, a misdiagnosis occurs for ADHD when the actual issue is vision related. If you continuously get this checked out, you can easily rule it out as a factor.

How Regular Eye Doctor Visits Can Help

Vision changes in children more than it does in adults. That is why it is very important to visit our office and meet with a pediatric optometrist in Raleigh. While going for regular eye doctor visits may seem like a bit much, looking at the alternative is far worse. Consider your child being diagnosed with ADHD when in actuality it was simply vision related. You would have worked hard to assist with ADHD when that was not even the problem. Our pediatric optometrist can examine your children’s eyes on a regular basis to ensure there are no issues. At the same time, if there are vision problems, we can help get your child the help they need. We have a wide variety of glasses and other vision assistance. For more information or to schedule your appointment, please call our office and get set up with a fantastic pediatric optometrist in Raleigh.
