At Eastern Oregon Family Eyecare, we understand that children's vision health is a top priority for parents. That's why we offer specialized pediatric eye care services to ensure your child's eyes are healthy and developing properly. Dr. Taylor, our experienced and compassionate pediatric optometrist, is dedicated to providing the highest quality care for your little ones.
Comprehensive Pediatric Eye Exams
Early detection of vision problems is crucial for effective treatment. Dr. Taylor conducts thorough and gentle eye exams tailored specifically for children. Our exams can detect common issues such as:
Nearsightedness (myopia)
Farsightedness (hyperopia)
Astigmatism
Strabismus (crossed eyes)
Amblyopia (lazy eye)
Regular eye exams help ensure that any vision issues are identified and managed promptly, promoting better vision and overall development for your child.
Myopia Management for Children
Myopia, or nearsightedness, is a growing concern among children. It can progress rapidly, affecting their ability to see clearly at a distance and potentially leading to more serious eye problems in the future. Dr. Taylor specializes in myopia management, offering advanced treatments to slow the progression of myopia and protect your child's vision.
Our myopia management strategies include:
Prescription eyeglasses or contact lenses designed to slow myopia progression
Orthokeratology (Ortho-K) lenses that gently reshape the cornea overnight
Atropine eye drops, a low-dose medication to reduce myopia progression
Child-Friendly Environment
We know that visiting the eye doctor can be a new experience for children, which is why we've created a welcoming and child-friendly environment. Our staff is trained to make your child feel comfortable and at ease during their visit, ensuring a positive experience every time.
Tips for Parents
As parents, you play a crucial role in your child's eye health. Here are some tips to help you protect their vision:
Schedule regular eye exams starting at six months of age
Encourage outdoor play to reduce the risk of myopia
Limit screen time and ensure proper lighting during reading or homework
Watch for signs of vision problems, such as squinting or sitting too close to the TV
