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 Burleson pediatric eye doctor at Great Eye Doctor of Burleson.

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 Great Eye Doctor of Burleson will carefully examine their eyes and provide guidance to ensure your child’s healthy vision.


Pediatric Eye Care FAQs

How do you take care of children's eyes?
  • Make sure they wear sunglasses and a hat to protect their eyes from dangerous UV rays when outside.
  • Increase the time they spend outdoors. 
  • Make sure they eat their fruits and veggies. Fruits and veggies high in lutein and zeaxanthin have been found to protect eyes from free radical damage.
  • Schedule regular pediatric eye exams. Detecting and treating eye conditions and diseases commonly found in children, such as strabismus and amblyopia, can help prevent unnecessary struggles and vision problems later in life. The pediatric eye doctor will also check your child’s vision for refractive errors and visual skill deficiencies that might hinder your child’s development.

The office staff and Dr. DeJernett are always kind, patient and so helpful. I bring my child here ev... ery year for an annual checkup and they are always as thorough as they can be with a small child. Dr. DeJernett knows the best tricks to check the eyes even when the staff isn’t able to use the machines/tools they normally would use to get readings. I appreciate that he asks if we have concerns and actually takes that into consideration when he is checking the eyes. They don’t try to sell things just because and explains everything very thoroughly. Always pleased with our experience here!

Dr. Bullard is fantastic. He has literally saved my eyesight. Gave a clear diagnosis of my glauco... ma when nobody else could. I would most likely have tunnel vision at best if not blind today if it wasn't for him and his staff. I cannot say enough good things about them. Highly reccomend.

It REALLY does matter what doctor you choose. I went to another highly recommended eye doctor befor... e coming here. That office was dismissive and didn’t want to get to the bottom of my eye issue. Dr. DeJernett was thorough in his examination and did an EXCELLENT job explaining to me what was going on with my eye. Do not go anywhere else for your eye care needs. This place is GREAT!

Dr. D and his staff were so kind and patient with me! I made an appt online and was able to be seen ... the same day. They gave me options for my glasses and special contacts if I wanted them and helped me get an exam done so I can keep my drivers license, I also brought my son and they were so kind to him and even went over things I can do in case he ends up with the condition I have. Overall a great experience! I’m excited to receive my glasses 🙂
