- Pediatric CareDr. David Granet, a professor of ophthalmology and pediatrics at the University of California, San Diego, said: “Everyone is familiar with A.D.H.D. and A.D.D., but not with eye problems, especially not with convergence insufficiency. But we don’t want to send kids for remedial reading and education efforts if they have an eye problem. This should be part of the protocol for eye doctors.”

- Eye ExamThe objective of our eye examination is, first and foremost, to prevent blindness or serious vision loss, and to determine the reason(s) for poor academic performance and problems in the work place. In addition, we take the time to carefully evaluate the eyes in order to determine the most accurate and comfortable prescription for glasses and contact lenses, and for the treatment of disease and visually related learning problems. These are the reasons we go through a great deal of effort to provide our patients with the best care.
- AutismVision plays a major role in language and social emotional development. Children with language delays, attention deficits, pervasive developmental disorders and autism all have inefficient visual systems. If a toddler is not speaking of relating to others, a vision evaluation is essential. A developmental optometrist can prescribe therapeutic and pleasurable activities to be done at home, during floor time, occupational and language therapy, or at day care. Combining the visual system with touch, movement, audition and social experiences benefits all areas.
