Do you have a question?  Ask the Doctor ...

How often should I have my child's eyes examined?
Yearly is usually recommended for school-age children.  Certain visual problems may require more frequent visits.
 
How will I know if my child can't see well?
Sometimes you don’t.  Children who see well out of one eye usually don’t complain.  Sometimes children just think their blurry vision is normal.  Annual visits to the eye doctor are recommended.
 
Will watching TV hurt my child's eyes?
TV typically will not affect the eyes.  Research indicates that doing extensive near work can cause the eyes to become nearsighted, so do have your child back up from the TV at least a few feet.
 
Will laser surgery fix my child's lazy eye?
Poor vision in one eye which cannot be improved with glasses also will not be improved with a laser.  If an eye turns in or out, it can be surgically corrected, but with an operation, not with a laser.
 
Will eating carrots give my child better eyesight?
Carrots contain antioxidants, one of which is Vitamin A, which can prevent damage from occurring to the eyes.  Eating carrots will not make your vision better if you need glasses.
