Pediatric Optometrist

A Pediatric Optometrist specialises in eye care for infants, children, and adolescents. You might work in clinics, hospitals, or private practices. Pediatric Optometrists focus on diagnosing and treating vision problems, conducting eye exams, and prescribing corrective lenses. You’ll assess visual development, manage eye conditions, and provide guidance on eye health and vision care for young patients.

Pediatric Optometrists play a vital role in ensuring children’s visual health and development. You’ll need to be patient, skilled in working with children, and able to communicate effectively with both young patients and their families. You’ll collaborate with other healthcare professionals to support children’s overall well-being and visual function.
