Gailey Eye Clinic

Children's eyes play a pivotal roll in their development. Studies have shown that children with poor vision have a harder time with school, sports, and everyday activities. If left untreated, poor vision in childhood can result in permanent vision loss.

Pediatric ophthalmology is the practice of detecting and treating eye diseases in children. Vision tests are administered to children during routine medical exams and often yearly through their schools. When a potential problem is discovered during these exams, a comprehensive exam preformed by an experienced optometrist, like those at Gailey Eye Clinic, can detect the cause of the problem, and proper treatment can be administered.

There are several common pediatric eye problems. Some, like nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism can be corrected with glasses. Others, like drooping eyelid, double vision, and amblyopia may require surgical procedures to correct. In any case, early detection and treatment of eye problems in children will help prevent future damage, and improve your child's ability to participate in regular activities. The optometrists at Gaily Eye Clinic are experienced in pediatric ophthalmology. The comfortable, relaxed atmosphere will put your child at ease, while our patient, caring staff make their visit to the eye doctor as enjoyable as possible.
