Is your child sitting close to the TV because they’re struggling to see, or just really excited to watch a movie? Do they have a vision condition, or do they just need to catch up on sleep? Kids are constantly on the move, making it tricky for you as a parent to understand their vision needs. Fortunately, Center for Sight offers specialized pediatric eye care in the Las Vegas area.
Why choose a pediatric eye specialist?
Children’s eye issues differ from common adult conditions. A doctor specializing in children’s eye care will have the most experience treating these childhood conditions, including amblyopia (lazy eye), strabismus (crossed eyes), ptosis, nasolacrimal duct obstruction, and pediatric cataracts.
A pediatric ophthalmologist also knows how to help kids feel at ease during their appointments. At Center for Sight, we love caring for kids! Our pediatric specialist, Dr. Selim T. Koseoglu, provides warm, kid-centered care to all his young patients.
Why is it important to treat kids’ eye conditions early?
Some eye conditions, like amblyopia and strabismus (otherwise known as lazy eye and crossed eyes), may be caused by miscommunication between the brain and eye. If left untreated, the brain will adapt in ways that cause permanent vision problems.
Early treatment works to strengthen weak muscles and correct vision. It is much easier to correct these conditions when a child is growing and their brain is still developing pathways to the eye.
