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 The Landings pediatric eye doctor at Foothills Vision and Eye Care.

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 Foothills Vision and Eye Care 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.

After not having an eye exam in over 20 years, it seemed like a good idea to get one (getting old is... no fun). They take medical insurance, which was a requirement for me. Great staff. Very easy to work with.

What an exceptional first appointment! Everyone—from the front desk to Dr. Skrdla himself—was so... kind and welcoming. I was pleasantly surprised by how quickly I was seen after my intake tests; I waited seconds, not minutes, before the doctor came in. As someone paying out of pocket, I also found the visit to be very affordable. I'm so grateful to have found this office—what a relief to feel so well cared for right from the start.

My experience here has been excellent. The staff were very patient with me as I took my time to brow... se and try on different frames. They offered me assistance to find frames in my style and budget. They were kind and I did not feel rushed to make a selection. I had my exam at a different vision place, but liked the frame options at Foothills Vision and Eye Care more. They have more unique and colorful frames than other places I've been too.

Took a bit to get in, but great experience all the way around! Dr Haugen explained everything during... my exam and Kelly was awesome in getting me some slick frames! Who has fun at an eye exam? This girl 😁

I normally see Dr. Skrdla and he is always great. He is very kind and knowledgeable. I feel very f... ortunate to have him as my doctor. Last week my little boy got a wood chip in his eye and we saw Dr. Haugen. My son was very upset and was in a lot of pain. Dr. Haugen was great with him! He calmed him immediately and expertly removed the sliver from his eye. Within minutes my little boy was smiling. The next day he was 100 percent better and Dr. Haugen checked on him. I would highly recommend either of these wonderful doctors!

This staff did such a great job getting me new glasses and contact lenses! They had fantastic commun... ication from beginning to end and the staff is very friendly. Linda was great to chat with while I had my exam, and Kelly did an awesome job getting my frames fit and sent in. I also received both the contact lenses and frames sooner than the estimate they gave me. This is the place to go in Fort Collins. I highly recommend going to Foothills Vision and eye care!
