Keep Those Little Eyes Fright-Free This Halloween! 🧙‍♀️

Fog machines, flashing lights, and costume makeup can all make Halloween a bit spooky — especially for sensitive eyes!

This season, help your little ones keep their vision clear and comfy:
🧡 Avoid costume contacts (they can irritate young eyes!)
🧡 Rinse off makeup before bed
🧡 Schedule an eye check if your child’s been squinting or complaining of headaches

From all of us at University Children’s Eye Center — have a safe, eye-conic Halloween! 🎃

Does your child wake up complaining of dry eyes—especially in the colder months? ❄️ A humidifier in their bedroom or near screen-time spaces can make a big difference. Pair it with good hydration and, if needed, artificial tears at bedtime for extra relief. Simple steps for more comfortable eyes! 👀✨

Struggles with headaches, double vision, or trouble focusing while reading can sometimes be caused by convergence insufficiency—when the eyes drift outward for tasks that are close at-hand.

At University Children’s Eye Center, we use orthoptic therapy, a series of targeted eye exercises, to help children strengthen eye coordination and reduce symptoms. Unlike broader “vision therapy” programs, our focus is on proven, effective treatment for convergence insufficiency.

🧠 Stronger eye control = easier reading, better learning.

Headaches in children can come from many sources—sinuses, teeth, allergies, or even vision problems. 👓 An eye exam is often the first step to rule out neurological concerns and check for issues like the need for glasses or binocular vision problems. If your child often complains of headaches, an eye checkup can provide answers and peace of mind. 💙

If your child is suddenly having trouble seeing the board at school, it’s important to figure out what’s behind it. 👀

Sometimes it’s as simple as needing glasses, but a sudden change in vision should always be checked right away.

In this video, Dr. Rana from the University Children’s Eye Center explains when to schedule an eye exam, when to call your pediatrician, and how to make sure your child’s eyesight gets the care it needs.

Sometimes kids say they can’t see because they want glasses. But how can you tell if it’s real or not? At University Children’s Eye Center, our doctors use retinoscopy to measure vision accurately, and even placebo lenses to confirm whether a child truly needs glasses.

No guessing—just clear answers for your child’s eye health. 💙

Did your child fail an eye exam at the pediatrician’s office? Sometimes astigmatism in little ones is normal and they may grow out of it. But if the astigmatism is more than age-appropriate, it can lead to lazy eye (amblyopia), a condition best corrected at a young age.

At University Children’s Eye Center, our specialists use dilation and careful evaluation to make sure your child’s eyes are developing properly. Early detection = better outcomes!

👀 Did you know? Botox isn’t just for wrinkles! It was originally developed to treat eye misalignment (strabismus)!

At University Children’s Eye Center, we offer botulinum toxin injections as a less invasive alternative to surgery for certain types of strabismus in both children and adults.

✨ The procedure takes less than 5 minutes
✨ No cutting or stitches required
✨ Success rates similar to surgery in select cases

While anesthesia is still needed, the recovery is quicker and the approach is gentler. UCEC is proud to be one of the few practices offering this advanced treatment option.

Because every child’s needs are unique, our pediatric eye specialists will help you decide if Botox or surgery is the best path forward. 💙

We treat conditions like:
✨ Tear duct blockages
✨ Eye misalignment (strabismus)
✨ Cataracts
✨ Eyelid and orbital cysts

Surgery can feel overwhelming, but you’re not in it alone. We’re here to care for your child—and for you—every step of the way. 👁️💕
