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 Pleasanton pediatric eye doctor at EyeTx - Atascosa.

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 EyeTx - Atascosa will carefully examine their eyes and provide guidance to ensure your child's healthy vision.

EyeTX – Dr. Christopher Prough I made three appointments about a week in advance for myself and my ... two children, and I was pleasantly surprised that we were able to get in ahead of our scheduled appointment time. Before the appointment, I received three separate letters in the mail, one addressed to each of us, all containing the same information about potential out-of-pocket costs if insurance coverage was not applicable. I called the office to clarify, and during that conversation, we confirmed that one of my children was under five. The doctor we were initially scheduled with did not see children under five, so the office rescheduled all three of us for later that day with another doctor. Dr. Prough was very good with both of my children. He was patient and willing to work around my one-and-a-half-year-old's reluctance to participate or focus on him. I felt that the necessary checks were completed without making the appointment unnecessarily difficult. Even the eye dilation went surprisingly well with my youngest. She did not have a crying reaction to the drops. I appreciated that the appointment itself had not left her overly irritated or upset beforehand, which I believe helped make the experience easier for her. Overall, we had a fairly painless experience, and I appreciated Dr. Prough's patience and flexibility when working with young children.
