Children's eyes are still developing, so conditions like amblyopia and strabismus need to be caught and treated early, before they can permanently affect how a child sees.
Pediatric Ophthalmology
Eye Care Built Around a Child's Development
A child's visual system is still developing throughout early childhood, which means many eye conditions are far easier to correct when they're caught early rather than discovered later. Ophthalmology Associates provides pediatric eye care across North Texas, from routine screenings to treatment for conditions that specifically affect developing vision. Our team takes a gentle, patient approach with young patients, helping families understand exactly what's happening with their child's eyes.
Schedule a pediatric eye exam if you have any concerns about your child's vision or eye alignment.
Explore Pediatric Eye Conditions We Treat
Two of the most common conditions affecting children's vision are amblyopia and strabismus, both of which respond best to early treatment.
Amblyopia
Amblyopia
Often called lazy eye, amblyopia occurs when the brain favors one eye over the other during development, weakening vision in the less-used eye. Learn how it's diagnosed and why early treatment makes such a difference.
Strabismus
Strabismus
A misalignment of the eyes that can cause them to point in different directions. Find out what causes strabismus and the range of treatment options available, from glasses to surgery.
