October is Eye Injury Prevention Month! 👁️

Your child’s vision is precious, and many eye injuries are preventable with a few simple steps. Here are 6 must-know tips for parents to help keep little eyes safe at home, school, and play:

💡 Choose Safe Toys
Avoid toys with sharp edges or projectiles like darts or BB guns.
💡 Use Protective Eyewear
Goggles or helmets are a must for sports like baseball & hockey. Look for ANSI-approved gear.
💡 Lock Up Chemicals
Store cleaners & pesticides out of reach. Teach kids not to touch unknown liquids.
💡 Encourage Safe Habits
No rubbing eyes with dirty hands. No throwing sand or sharp objects.
💡 Be Cautious at Home
Keep sharp tools, pencils & scissors away from little hands.
💡 Manage Screen Time
Follow the 20-20-20 rule: every 20 mins, look 20 feet away for 20 seconds.

“My 5 month old son had his tear duct opened up. Dr. Lichtenstein was amazing with him. Explained everything very well and allowed me the time to ask all the questions I needed to ask. I was worried the night of the surgery and called the after hours line. Dr. Lichtenstein called me back right away, eased my fears and even took the time to call the next day to see how my son was doing. Thanks to the Dr. His eye look great. Thank you Dr. Lichtenstein. The staff is also very caring and accommodating” - Patient Testimonial

This adorable patient came to us with eyes turning outward — something she didn’t need.

Just five days after surgery, her eyes are already beautifully aligned and healing well. The redness and slight swelling are normal and temporary.

With each day, her comfort and vision improve, and the alignment gets even better. It’s amazing what skilled care and early treatment can do.

Her family is thrilled with the progress — and we’re so honored to support this bright, brave journey. 💙

Did you know? Amblyopia is the most common cause of vision loss in children. Believe it or not, amblyopia is not an eye problem - it's a brain problem. Our eyes send visual information to the brain, but we see with the brain!

Here's how amblyopia occurs:
👁️ The eye sends visual information (an image) to the brain.
👁️ If one eye sends a much clearer image, the brain favors that eye.
👁️ In short order, the brain "forgets" how to use the eye, sending it the blurred image.

It is essential to detect and treat amblyopia as early as possible. This is why pediatricians and schools perform vision screenings. Left untreated, amblyopia leads to permanent vision loss.

At The Pediatric Eye Center, we help strengthen the connection between the brain and the eye using proven, age-appropriate treatments tailored to your child.

Exotropia was making it hard for this lovely patient's eyes to work together, and that’s why her family came to us for help!

This is a condition where one eye turns outward, affecting eye alignment and coordination. Surgery corrects this by tightening or repositioning the eye muscles to bring the eyes into better alignment and improve binocular vision.

The surgery is usually quick, about 30 minutes, and is done under general anesthesia. This lovely patient went home just a couple of hours after the procedure.

Five days later, she’s already showing incredible progress...still as beautiful as ever, now with straight eyes and a whole new view of the world. 💫

If you notice your child’s eyes drifting outward, early evaluation and treatment can make a big difference. Book a consultation today at the link below to learn more about how we can help.
