Help Your Child See Well Into the Future
Your child's future should always look bright. But when eye pain or vision issues start to keep your child from being a kid, we know it's natural for worry to settle in.
As partners in your child's health, it's our job to keep you at ease and well informed. While in many cases, pediatric ophthalmology conditions can be relatively minor and easy to solve, in some cases vision problems in newborns, children, and adolescents can be symptomatic of other health issues. It's why the team of ophthalmologists, pediatricians, and nurses at AdventHealth takes a collaborative approach to the treatment of childhood eye conditions, working with other pediatric specialists at the hospital to diagnose the cause of vision problems in your child and treat them using a wide range of approaches, some that fall outside the field of ophthalmology. We believe this approach is vital to making sure your child's whole health is always in focus.
