One in four children experiences vision problems, making regular pediatric eye care essential for detecting and addressing potential issues early on.

As a pediatric optometrist, Dr. Patricia Ellison understands the importance of early intervention in promoting healthy vision development.

Regular eye exams can identify issues that may impact a child's performance in school, such as difficulty reading or paying attention. In addition, pediatric eye care goes beyond simply correcting vision; it also plays a key role in overall child development.

Three key reasons why pediatric eye care is essential:

1. Early detection of vision problems: Regular eye exams can identify issues such as nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism, allowing for early intervention and treatment.
2. Healthy vision development: Pediatric eye care helps facilitate that a child's vision develops properly, which is fundamental for learning and overall development.
3. Eye play and learning: Healthy vision enables children to engage in eye play, an indispensable aspect of learning and development, allowing them to explore and interact with their environment.

As people age, the risk of developing age-related eye diseases and disorders increases, making regular senior eye health exams essential for detecting and managing these conditions.

Age-related changes can affect the eyes, including presbyopia, cataracts, glaucoma, and age-related macular degeneration.

These changes can profoundly impact daily life, making everyday tasks, such as reading, driving, and socializing, more challenging.

Lifestyle factors, such as smoking, poor nutrition, and lack of exercise, can exacerbate age-related eye problems.

A healthy lifestyle, including a balanced diet rich in omega-3 fatty acids, leafy greens, and antioxidants, can help mitigate the risk of age-related eye diseases.

Regular exercise, quitting smoking, and managing chronic conditions like diabetes and hypertension can also reduce the risk of eye problems.

Our thorough exams assess visual acuity, eye health, and detect any age-related changes or disorders.

We provide personalized guidance on lifestyle modifications and treatment options to help seniors maintain ideal eye health and independence.
