Pediatrics
Pediatric Eye Care Is Different From Adult Eye Care
Brain cells in the early stages of adolescent development are very sensitive. Because these brain cells develop throughout the first decade of life, disorders to the eyes that have little effect on adults have a tremendous and life-long effect on younger eyes. Poor vision due to inadequate stimulation of brain cells, called amblyopia or “lazy eye”, is a common cause of vision loss in young children.
