Pediatric Eye Care: Why Is It Important?

  • Concerned that your child's eyesight may be hindering their development?
  • Does your child's eyes appear misaligned?

Studies show that up to 10% of young children have vision problems. However, kids generally aren't aware there's an issue, and don't complain about their eyes. It is therefore crucial to detect the first signs of vision problems before complications arise.

Give them the clear vision and healthy eyes they deserve by visiting our Lemont pediatric eye doctor at Forzley Eye Clinic.

4 Signs Your Child May Have a Vision Problem

  • Trouble seeing electronic screens

    Your child sits very close, tilts their head or squints to better see TVs, computer screens and other electronic screens.

  • Difficulty reading or following moving objects

    Your child often loses their place while reading, or can’t track a ball as it moves when playing sports.

  • Headaches & eye strain

    Your child complains of tired eyes or headaches after performing tasks that are visually intensive, such as reading or writing.

  • Missed milestones

    Your child may miss milestones such as crawling and walking, or show signs of poor depth perception.

For your child to successfully engage in sports and achieve their academic potential, they need to have healthy eyes and clear vision. The experienced and caring children's eye doctors at Forzley Eye Clinic will carefully examine their eyes and provide guidance to ensure your child’s healthy vision.


Pediatric Eye Care FAQs

How do you take care of kids
  • Make sure they wear sunglasses and a hat to protect their eyes from dangerous UV rays when outside.
  • Increase the time they spend outdoors. 
  • Make sure they eat their fruits and veggies. Fruits and veggies high in lutein and zeaxanthin have been found to protect eyes from free radical damage.
  • Schedule regular pediatric eye exams. Detecting and treating eye conditions and diseases commonly found in children, such as strabismus and amblyopia, can help prevent unnecessary struggles and vision problems later in life. The pediatric eye doctor will also check your child’s vision for refractive errors and visual skill deficiencies that might hinder your child’s development.

Dr. Flora and the office are the best. Every time one of my family members has a vision appointment ... I get nervous about experience and cost from past experience. Another wonderful visit my wife had today, fully explained everything, gives you all the options, no upsell or surprise charges. Calm, friendly, refreshing. Dr . Flora was also great with my sons and myself.

Forzley Eye Clinic is awesome. From the great staff to the professional Doctors. Dr. Flora was very ... helpful with getting me in right away today when I ended up having an eyelash stuck in my eye causing major pain and irritation. He was quick to figure out the problem and the whole process was quick and painless. I recommend Forzley to anyone who is looking for an eye doctor.

Dr. Forzley has been my eye provider since the year he hung out his shingle and had an office on Sta... te Street. He is one of the most thoughtful and caring providers I have worked with. He listens, makes great recommendations and follows up. I have been so happy being one of his patients that I brought in my own kids to see him and now my husband is a patient. he is a gem!!!!

After waking up with an eye infection last Saturday, I stopped by Forzley Eye Clinic to see if they ... could help me. They readily worked me into their schedule, and I left with a prescription for the infection. Everyone was both professional and kind. Much appreciated!

My wife and I left Target Optical for Forzley Eye Clinic and couldn’t be happier. Dr. Flora was fr... iendly, professional, and efficient. The optician Jess offered excellent customer service and was very helpful in selecting glasses for us to try on. Highly recommend this place.

The absolute best, most thorough eye exam I've ever had. Staff was knowledgeable, professional and f... riendly. They had my best interests in mind and weren't just trying to sell me on things. Been wearing glasses pretty much my whole life and this was the absolute best experience I've ever had. Highly recommend.

Dr. Forzley is one of the best Doctors I have ever dealt with in both to his medical skill but most ... importantly his relationship with his patients. He is truly a good man who cares about the people he attends to. He listens and explains everything to the patient so you leave knowing any issues or problems. I recently took my elderly father to see him due to a sudden loss of vision and the entire staff could not have been better. Not only did they take care of him but Dr. Forzley called me on a Sunday just to follow up and make sure everything was okay. Not many Doctors do that on their days off. This is a man who should be teaching his profession to the future Doctors out there. I could not be more happy with Dr. Forzley and his entire staff.

Have been seeing Dr Forzely for many years. His office staff is friendly but very professional at al... l times. They have all the answers your questions. Dr. Forzely is so helpful and is experienced with all optical problems you may have. He addresses any of your concerns competently and concisely. With all the COVID practices now, the office has adapted many safety procedures to make you feel very secure. Just can't praise Dr. Forzely and his office enough. I recommend him highly. You'll be happy if you have him and his team assisting you. Gloria Slomiany.
