Pediatric Eye Care: Why Is It Important?

  • Concerned that your baby’s eyesight may be hindering their development?
  • Do your toddler’s eyes appear misaligned?

Studies show that up to 10% of preschoolers 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 Crossroads pediatric eye doctor at Vision Care Crossroads.

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 Vision Care Crossroads will carefully examine their eyes and provide guidance to ensure your child’s healthy vision.


Pediatric Eye Exams: What You Need to Know

  • Baby’s First Eye Exam- 6 months old

    Though your baby won’t be able to speak yet, we can still assess their eye health. Is there anything abnormal about their eyes' appearance? Do the eyes move in unison? Can your baby’s eyes follow a toy or a familiar face in motion? Do they respond to light? Your child’s general eye health will be assessed for infection, or eye conditions such as an eye turn or potentially sight-threatening eye disease.

  • Eye Exams for Toddlers and Preschoolers: Ages 2 - 5

    At Vision Care Crossroads we do our best to make eye exams fun for the little ones; we use toys and other fun objects where possible, and our eye charts for little kids feature colorful shapes or pictures that they’ll recognize. We check for poor depth perception, color vision problems, strabismus/amblyopia (eye turns/lazy eye), and problems with visual focusing. Our optometrist may dilate your preschooler’s pupils to get a better view of their retina, optic nerve and blood vessels.

  • Eye Exams of School-Age Kids: Ages 6 - 18

    For this age group, our eye care team will use advanced technologies to assess refractive errors and determine how well the visual system is functioning. This includes checking for difficulties with distance and near vision and signs of eye disease, eye-coordination problems or other health conditions.

Our family has been going to Vision Care for almost a decade. All the staff are friendly, caring and... professional. Dr. Sam, and Dr. Lee go above and beyond. Dr. Sam gets to know the families and he understands our needs (sports, jobs, and even sleep patterns) to recommend our eye cares. What I really love about them is that they genuinely care, I had an eye infection and had an appointment scheduled. My child's eye check appointment was a few days earlier than my appointment. While I was there for my child's appointment, Dr. Sam saw me and told me that he would take care of me right then too instead of waiting for my appointment. His patients' well-being are important to him.

I had a great experience with Dr. Minha Lee and the staff here. Everyone was very kind, accommodatin... g, and patient to answer any questions I had. They were also excellent about sanitizing everything before/after every use, including all of the glasses I tried on. They walked through how much my insurance would cover and I didn't feel pressured at all to spend more. All of NY options were laid out clearly for me as well as their costs so I could decide what was best for myself. I will absolutely be coming back 🙂

This was my very shy daughter's first exe exam. She was a little nervous and the staff made her feel... comfortable and she was able to relax. I am so grateful to the eye care team for being so warm, friendly, and fast! When we walked in the door, they had my paperwork all ready for me and there was no wait for our appointment time. The best experience at an optometrist ever! I'm actually switching to Vision Plus from my current optometrist today 🙂

Highly recommended, if you have anisometropia I would highly recommend you to visit Dr.Hsu, for the... past decades, he is the only one who made my eyes feel better and have proper prescription, I dont feel any dry eyes or red eyes after getting the new prescription since last year. Also the folks in the clinic are very nice and helpful.
- May. 25, 2021
The only optometrist I will be seeing as long as I live in the area!

Dr. Hsu is awesome. He's warm-hearted and very patient. My daughter is wearing the ortho-K lenses Dr... . Hsu prescribed, and she has perfect eyesight now. She still needs to keep wearing them at night, but during the day, she can see clearly without glasses. For my case, I started to feel dry with my old brand contact lenses after wearing them for one hour, so I have to give the unworn ones away. However, with the new brand of contact lenses Dr. Hsu prescribed, I have no problem wearing them all day. I would sincerely recommend Dr. Hsu.
- May. 19, 2021
I wish I could give 10 stars! Me and my entire family have been going to Dr. Hsu for over 20 years a... nd he always goes above and beyond. Dr. Hsu and the rest of the staff here are excellent and very kind.

I had my annual eye exam with Dr. Sam Hsu for four years since his office in Redmond. Vision Plus mo... ved to nearby Crossroads Mall for two years. I do like the new location in Bellevue more than the old location in Redmond. It is a very good and convenient location. Vision Plus Crossroad has very professional and new Eye Examination Equipment. Dr. Sam Hsu and his office staffs are very friendly and very professional. Dr. Sam Hsu can speak both English and Mandarin very fluently. I am from Taipei, Taiwan. I do feel very comfortable and secure if I cannot full understand some terms in English. Dr. Sam Hsu will explain those terms in Chinese to me. Please make your eye exam with Dr. Sam Hsu either by phone or by website. Then, you will fully understand what I am saying. I do recommand Dr. Sam Hsu to everyone especially who lives in eastside.

Pediatric Eye Care FAQs

How do you take care of kids
  • 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.
At what age should I bring my child for their first eye exam?

Our pediatric eye professionals recommend you bring your child in for their first eye exam at around 6 months of age. This allows your child’s eye doctor to check that their vision is progressing as expected. Early detection and treatment of certain conditions at this stage of development are essential for keeping your child’s vision and eye health on track, and can help prevent complications as they grow up.

Can I use Ortho-K lenses if I have dry eye syndrome?

While kids may wear glasses from as early as a few months of age, most kids who wear glasses tend to get them between the ages of 6 and 12. The three main conditions for which they wear eyeglasses are myopia (nearsightedness), hyperopia (farsightedness) and astigmatism.
