Paediatric Eye Centre

"We love seeing kids." Jamaica's premiere paediatric optometric practice. Paediatric Eye Centre is the premiere eye practice in Jamaica for children.

We provide specialized care to children 6 months to 18 years old along with routine eye examinations for the entire family. Our principal optometrist, Dr. Cardice Riley-Ricketts completely understands the importance of early eye-care. The energy that kids bring spurred her to establish a dedicated paediatric practice in April 1998, though she already had established eye-care practices operating in Central Jamaica. Our multi-disciplinary approach to paediatric eye-care integrates a detailed assessment of the visual system with primary level evaluations of perceptual, cognitive, tactile, and auditory development. This holistic approach offers a greater opportunity to detect the true cause of developmental challenges a child may be encountering. Our Practice offers the following services:
• Complete Eye Exams
• Contact Lenses
• Glasses
• Glaucoma Testing
• Pre- and Post-operative Care for Eye-turns (Strabismus) and for Cataracts. Our Developmental Centre offers:
• Physical Growth Tracking
• Perceptual Testing
• Reading Classes

For a complete list of services, visit http://paediatriceyecentre.com or call our office at 876-962-3410 / 876-408-2142.

What is Amblyopia?
Amblyopia, also known as “lazy eye” happens when one eye doesn't develop proper vision, causing the brain to rely more on the stronger eye. Over time, the weaker eye gets even weaker if left untreated.
It’s not always easy to spot your child may not even complain. That’s why regular eye exams are so important!
✨ The good news?
When caught early, amblyopia can often be corrected with glasses, patching, or other treatments.

Let’s help both eyes work together because your child deserves their brightest view of the world!

👁️💫 One eye turning in, out, up, or down?
It could be strabismus, a condition where the eyes are misaligned and don’t move together as they should. This can show up at birth or later on and while it might look cute to some, it can seriously affect your child’s vision.
If left untreated, the brain may begin to ignore the weaker eye, leading to permanent vision loss
💡 The good news? With early care whether it’s glasses, therapy, or other treatments we can help your child’s eyes team up the way they’re meant to!

👶🏽👁️ Wondering how to check your baby’s eyes at home?
While nothing replaces a professional eye exam, here are a few things you can look out for:
✨ Do they make eye contact?
✨ Can they track moving objects?
✨ Do both eyes move together?
✨ Is there any unusual redness, discharge, or cloudiness?
✨ Do their eyes respond to light and faces?
If something seems off, don’t wait it out early detection is key to protecting your baby’s vision.

🔍👁️ What’s a vision screening?
Think of it as a quick check-up for your child’s eyes like a pop quiz to see how well their eyes are working!
Vision screenings help spot potential problems early, even if your child hasn’t said anything. They don’t replace a full eye exam, but they’re a great first step in protecting your child’s sight. 🌟
✨ Early detection = early action!
If anything unusual shows up, we’ll recommend a full eye exam with Dr. Riley-Ricketts to take a closer look. 👓

High blood sugar from diabetes can damage the tiny blood vessels in your child’s eyes. Over time, these weakened vessels may leak into important parts of the eye

👩‍⚕️ If your child has diabetes or you have concerns about their vision, don’t wait.

😴👁️ Ever noticed your child sleeping with their eyes slightly open?
It’s actually normal during deep sleep and usually nothing to worry about. But if your little one sleeps in AC or under a fan, it could lead to dry, red, or irritated eyes.

💡A simple fix? Use a humidifier or gently reposition the fan — and if symptoms persist, give us a call.

Seeing cobwebs, strands, or specks in your vision?
They might be floaters — tiny clumps inside the eye that can cast shadows on the retina, making it look like you’re seeing threads, dots, or faint shapes moving around.

While floaters are often harmless, a sudden increase could signal something more serious.
