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 Wilkes-Barre pediatric eye doctor at Engle Eyewear.

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 Engle Eyewear 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.

I’m in love with this place! I have had some terrible experiences elsewhere and they have went abo... ve and beyond making my experience awesome. The minute I walked in they offer you coffee or water and the people are just so friendly it’s a treat to be able to be treated like a human being instead of just worrying how much you are going to spend! The exam was awesome though and definitely done right. The woman who helped me pick out glasses was the best she even introduced me to the owner and he was so down to earth. This business hands down is number one!

My family has used Engle Eyewear for years, and they provide excellent and consistent customer servi... ce. Renee is a Stylist with a capital "S" and Tom delivers perfect lens. And they have trained their staff to provide the same great service. Recently, I debated about computer glasses, and they have become a life-changer for me . And the addition of Joseph Lombardi, OD is a also great asset.

Had the most amazing experience at Engle Eyewear! My eye exam was easy and well explained to me each... step. The team was also extremely helpful in helping me find the perfect pair of glasses. It was my first time getting glasses and they made the process so easy and provided everything I need! They are so welcoming and helpful (and have the cutest furry assistant!) Highly recommend!

I got my first pair of Engle Eyewear glasses about 3 years ago and I have gotten so many compliments... from the 2 years I wore that first pair of Engle glasses. I just got a second pair recently and the compliments are nonstop! Renee is absolutely amazing at what she does and she always ends up finding me the most perfect pair of glasses that would look best on me, fit my personality as well as my face! The staff is so amazing, they are all so kind and so supportive of all their customers! I couldn’t say such great things about this place if 5 stars isn’t enough!

I recently had an eye exam and purchased two amazing frames! I am EXTREMELY satisfied and can't say... enough about the professionalism and expertise Dr. Lombardi, Tom, Renee, Stephanie and the entire team displayed. A special thank to Stephanie and Renee---you both helped me narrow down my choices (which was very difficult) so my decision was perfect for my facial shape and fits well with my lifestyle. Your personal touch is unmatched! Thanks again!
