Children's Eye Care and Safety

Taking care of your child’s eyes is just as important as other aspects of health care. Routine eye care ensures that your child is developing correctly. At Uptown Eyecare, serving Lake Nona, Hunters Creek, and Orlando, FL, our children’s eye doctor will ensure that your child’s eye health and vision are at their best.

Pediatric Eye Care

It is important for children to meet with our pediatric eye care professionals regularly. With an eye exam, we can ensure that your child does not have any eye health or eye functioning issues. We will also check for vision problems. If your child needs eyeglasses, we provide a selection of frames for children to try on.

Eyeglasses for Kids

When it comes to eyeglasses for kids, choose only shatterproof lenses made from polycarbonate. These will also block harmful UV rays and are lightweight to wear. You may also opt for an anti-scratch coating to make your child’s glasses last longer.  

When trying on glasses, look for the eyes to be in the center of the frame for the best vision possible. Check to make sure that the frames sit on the face comfortably, not touching your child’s cheeks or lashes. If the glasses do not fit well or are uncomfortable, your child may not wear them as intended. When eyeglasses do not fit properly, kids are also more vulnerable to damaging or losing them. Our eye doctor will help your child find the right pair of glasses.

Eye Care Tips

Keep your kid’s eyes and vision safe with these eye care tips:

• Remind kids that glasses should never be placed face down on the lenses, as they can easily scratch.
• Use a special lens cloth for wiping and cleaning eyeglasses to protect them from becoming scratched.
• Frames that become bent should be taken to our eye care provider to be adjusted. You run the risk of breaking the frame when you attempt to fix these on your own.
