Introduction
Your child’s vision plays a critical role in their overall development, from learning in school to exploring the world around them. Early detection and treatment of eye conditions ensure that your little one enjoys clear and healthy vision for life.

At Enny Eye Care, with locations in Ikeja and Ikoyi, Lagos, we specialize in pediatric eye care, providing expert screenings, treatment, and guidance tailored to children’s unique vision needs.

1. Why Pediatric Eye Care is Important

Many vision problems in children go unnoticed because kids may not realize they have trouble seeing.

• Common Issues:
  • Refractive errors (nearsightedness, farsightedness, astigmatism).
  • Lazy eye (amblyopia).
  • Crossed eyes (strabismus).
  • Eye strain from digital devices.
• Why Early Detection Matters: Timely diagnosis and treatment can correct vision problems and prevent long-term complications.

2. Signs Your Child May Need an Eye Exam

Look out for these early warning signs:

• Frequent squinting or tilting their head.
• Complaints of blurry vision or headaches.
• Difficulty reading or focusing on schoolwork.
• Excessive eye rubbing or tearing.
• Sitting too close to screens or holding books very close to their face.

If you notice any of these signs, schedule an eye exam at Enny Eye Care immediately.

3. What to Expect During a Pediatric Eye Exam

Our child-friendly specialists ensure that eye exams are comfortable, engaging, and stress-free.

• Step-by-Step Process:
  • Visual Acuity Test: To measure your child’s ability to see at various distances.
  • Eye Alignment Check: Ensuring both eyes work together correctly.
  • Refraction Test: To determine if glasses are needed.
  • Eye Health Examination: Checking for any underlying conditions.

4. Tips for Maintaining Your Child’s Eye Health

Help your child build healthy habits to protect their vision:

• Limit Screen Time: Follow the 20-20-20 Rule—every 20 minutes, look at something 20 feet away for 20 seconds.
• Encourage Outdoor Play: Natural light helps reduce the risk of myopia (nearsightedness).
• Ensure a Healthy Diet: Include eye-friendly foods like carrots, fish, spinach, and eggs.
• Regular Eye Exams: Schedule yearly check-ups to monitor their vision.
