Children's Eye Exams
in Santa Clara

Amblyopia, commonly known as lazy eye, is an eye condition many young children can develop. It can occur when their eyes have an uneven lens prescription, causing the “weaker” eye to wander.

We may be able to help manage this issue with vision-correcting lenses or recommending various eye exercises. If left untreated, the brain could ignore images from the “weaker” eye, leading to vision loss.

Strabismus, or crossed eyes, is an eye condition that affects your child’s eye alignment. It can occur when your child has underdeveloped eye muscles, large refractive errors, or a health condition like Down syndrome or cerebral palsy.

If left untreated, it can lead to amblyopia and potentially permanent vision loss.

Corrective lenses and eye exercises could help manage the issue, but we may recommend eye muscle surgery if your child’s symptoms are severe enough.
