Nearly Half of Adults at High Risk Don’t Get Checked

CDC data shows that about 4 in 10 adults are at high risk for vision loss — often due to age, diabetes, or existing eye problems — but many haven’t had an eye exam in the last year. Lack of regular exams means missed opportunities to catch problems early.

The best prevention is early detection. That’s exactly what you get with Dr. Claude Belgrave, who uses world-class training (Harvard top 10%, ophthalmology + optometry) to catch subtle changes before they impact your life.

Learning struggle or vision struggle? 📚🔍

If the homework table has become a battleground, the culprit might be their eyes: not the subject matter. Kids often don’t realize their vision isn’t "normal," so they adapt in ways that can look like frustration or a lack of focus.

Keep an eye out for these red flags:
🚩 Squinting or closing one eye to see better
🚩 Tilting their head at an odd angle while reading
🚩 Sitting unusually close to the TV or books
🚩 Frequent eye rubbing or headaches after school

Dr. Claude Belgrave Jr. and our team specialize in pediatric eye care, from routine exams to treating complex conditions like lazy eye (amblyopia) and strabismus. With over 40 years of experience and a compassionate approach, we ensure your child sees the world clearly.

We accept 98% of insurance plans, including Medicare, Medicaid, and FAMIS!

Don’t let a vision issue hold them back in the classroom. Call us to schedule their pediatric eye exam today!

Does your child’s eye seem to drift or look "crossed" sometimes? It might be more than just a phase.

At Ophthalmology Associates, we’re here to help your child see the world clearly. Two common conditions we manage are Strabismus and Amblyopia. Strabismus is a misalignment where the eyes don't point in the same direction. Amblyopia, or "lazy eye," happens when the brain favors one eye, causing the other to weaken. Without early treatment, these issues can lead to permanent vision loss.

Early detection is key! Dr. Claude Belgrave Jr. is a Harvard-trained expert with over 40 years of experience in pediatric eye care. He provides the compassionate, specialized treatment your child needs to thrive.

We make care accessible by accepting 98% of insurance plans, including Aetna, Medicaid, and Tricare.

Protect your child’s sight. Call us at 757-964-4EYE (4393) to schedule a pediatric exam today.
