Children's Eye Doctors — Dedicated to Helping Kids See Clearly

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 Marion pediatric eye doctor at Preferred Eye Care - Marion.

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 Preferred Eye Care - Marion will carefully examine their eyes and provide guidance to ensure your child's healthy vision.

I absolutely loved Dr Mathews. He actually listened to me when I talked and let me have control of m... y care and did not tell me how my care was going to go. The lady who fit me for my glasses also listened to my needs. (I believe her name was Laura or Lauren, sorry for forgetting) the lady sitting at the desk was very pleasant and seemed to really enjoy her job. The office manager I believe did get a little upset with me because I needed to opt out of getting the second pair of glass at this time due to the fact I will be moving to NM soon and I am trying to save as much money as possible, (maybe it was just an off day for her) but she was very nice on our first encounter. I would 100% recommend Dr Matthew's and his staff Way to go finally a Dr and staff who listened to me.

Great place. All staff were very friendly and answered any questions I had. Has a good selection of ... frames as well, and even told me what my insurance would fully cover when I was browsing. I was in and out in about an hour. Would definitely recommend.
