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 River North pediatric eye doctor at Wear Eyewear - Chicago.

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 Wear Eyewear - Chicago will carefully examine their eyes and provide guidance to ensure your child's healthy vision.

I am new to town, so did not have an existing eye doctor. I lost a contact and was in desperate nee... d to find a replacement.. I went online and saw that Doctor Pitts had good reviews, and even more amazing, I could book an appointment for the next day. The experience in the office was just as positive. Office staff were friendly and efficient. The process of checking my eyes was typical, but Dr. Pitts took great pains to make sure that I understood what the photos of my eyes showed. Most impressively, I told him that I had an appointment with an ophthalmologist also, but not for two months. He recommended that I keep that appointment, even though there were some overlap with the two practices. Nor did he try to sell me on getting a new pair of glasses, even though my prescription had changed somewhat. I’ll be getting the new contact lenses in about two weeks and I’m sure I will see Dr. Pitts in the future. Thank you.
