Pediatric Eye Care: Why Is It Important?

  • Concerned that your child's eyesight may be hindering their development?
  • Does your child's eyes appear misaligned?

Studies show that up to 10% of young children have vision problems. However, kids generally aren't aware there's an issue, and don't complain about their eyes. It is therefore crucial to detect the first signs of vision problems before complications arise.

Give them the clear vision and healthy eyes they deserve by visiting our Northeast Side pediatric eye doctor at EyeTX - Walzem.

4 Signs Your Child May Have a Vision Problem

  • Trouble seeing electronic screens

    Your child sits very close, tilts their head or squints to better see TVs, computer screens and other electronic screens.

  • Difficulty reading or following moving objects

    Your child often loses their place while reading, or can’t track a ball as it moves when playing sports.

  • Headaches & eye strain

    Your child complains of tired eyes or headaches after performing tasks that are visually intensive, such as reading or writing.

  • Missed milestones

    Your child may miss milestones such as crawling and walking, or show signs of poor depth perception.

For your child to successfully engage in sports and achieve their academic potential, they need to have healthy eyes and clear vision. The experienced and caring children's eye doctors at EyeTX - Walzem will carefully examine their eyes and provide guidance to ensure your child’s healthy vision.


Pediatric Eye Care FAQs

How do you take care of kids
  • Make sure they wear sunglasses and a hat to protect their eyes from dangerous UV rays when outside.
  • Increase the time they spend outdoors. 
  • Make sure they eat their fruits and veggies. Fruits and veggies high in lutein and zeaxanthin have been found to protect eyes from free radical damage.
  • Schedule regular pediatric eye exams. Detecting and treating eye conditions and diseases commonly found in children, such as strabismus and amblyopia, can help prevent unnecessary struggles and vision problems later in life. The pediatric eye doctor will also check your child’s vision for refractive errors and visual skill deficiencies that might hinder your child’s development.

Stopped by today to buy some new glasses, the employee was friendly, very helpful and showed me a lo... t of different options that fit me. They also have a great selection of glasses from a variety of brands, will definitely purchase from here in the future.

Amy the store manager was so sincere in her apology about the bad experience i had on my first visit... that i decided to give them a second chance. After a bit of a wait i finally saw dr Bell and i must say it was well worth the wait. He was very friendly yet thorough and gave off that favorite teacher kind of vibe. I had a thousand questions and he patiently answered even the silliest ones without a hint of frustration. I doubted this office could ever make up for the previous visit but they knocked it out the park. They earned all the stars this day, thank yall! 🙂

The reason for my rating is Christine. She went above and beyond to make sure we were well taken car... e of. Her genuine care for her customers, along with her cheerful personality and positive attitude, made us feel truly valued.

I went to EyeTX in September to get a pair of prescription sunglasses. I was very happy with the who... le process, from the eye exam to completion. Love my Raybans! I now need to get new lenses for my daily glasses because I scratched them badly. Sadly, they couldn’t do it without sending my frames out because they don’t provide that service in store. They recommended a competitor which can do the new lenses same day. Thank you EyeTX for helping me out, what nice people!
