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 Pittsburgh pediatric eye doctor at Bittel Vision Care Center - Caste Village.

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 Bittel Vision Care Center - Caste Village will carefully examine their eyes and provide guidance to ensure your child's healthy vision.

We've been coming here for a few years for both ourselves and our kids. The staff and doctors have a... ll been friendly, caring, and have gone out of their way to help us. My son lost his glasses, and the staff spent extra time helping us figure out the most cost efficient way to replace them. One of my kids also has anxiety, and the staff and doctors help him feel comfortable during exams. We've always gotten quick responses anytime we've needed help or had questions, and appointments have always been on time and run smoothly. We've had a good experience at this practice.
