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 Mansfield Center pediatric eye doctor at Hayden Optometric.

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 Hayden Optometric will carefully examine their eyes and provide guidance to ensure your child's healthy vision.

This was the best eye exam I have ever had. I cannot recommend Hayden Optometric enough. The entire... staff is extremely friendly and helpful. The examination was very thorough and informative. The whole experience was perfection.

My husband and I just had our very first appointment at Hayden with Dr. Horton after 20+years at our... old eye doctor and this was a wonderful experience! The entire staff was extremely friendly and helpful. Dr. Horton is very thorough and personable. She made me feel right at ease. And because of our VSP, we were able to find beautiful new glasses for both of us without paying high end prices! Thank you Hayden.
