Pediatric Vision Care
From the moment your newborn opens their eyes through childhood and adolescence, our pediatric vision and eye specialists preserve and protect your child’s vision.
Why Choose Sutter?
According to the American Public Health Association, about 1 in 4 children develops some kind of vision problem. Because eye problems may appear at birth, our vision specialists recommend eye exams for all children, even newborns.
If there’s any sign of a problem, our pediatric eye care teams can diagnose and treat the conditions that affect your child’s eyes. Childhood’s rough-and-tumble nature may result in an eye accident, especially if your child participates in contact sports. We aim to minimize that damage with rapid diagnosis and treatment.
