Pediatric Eye Care at Ziki Eye Care

Little Eyes, Big Futures

Did you know that 80% of a child’s learning occurs through their eyes? From seeing the whiteboard in class to catching a ball on the playground, clear vision is the foundation of your child’s development. However, children often don’t know how to complain about vision problems because they assume everyone sees the world the way they do.

At Ziki Eye Care, we specialize in pediatric ophthalmology. We are dedicated to ensuring your child has the visual skills they need to succeed in school and life, detecting issues early when they are easiest to treat.

Gentle Diagnostics: The "No-Tears" Approach

Examining a child’s eyes requires a different approach than examining an adult's. You don't need to worry if your child doesn't know their alphabet yet.

Our clinical team uses age-appropriate testing methods, including shape matching and objective retinoscopy (using light to measure the prescription without the child needing to speak). We also utilize Cycloplegic Refraction, where safe eye drops are used to relax the child's strong focusing muscles. This ensures we get a 100% accurate measurement of their prescription, uncovering hidden farsightedness or astigmatism that standard screenings might miss.

Why Choose Ziki Eye Care for Your Child?

A visit to the eye doctor should be a positive experience, not a scary one. We have created an environment that puts children at ease.

• Pediatric Specialists: Our doctors are trained to manage conditions specific to children, such as Amblyopia (Lazy Eye), Strabismus (Squint), and rapidly progressing Myopia (Nearsightedness).

• Myopia Control: We don't just prescribe glasses; we offer modern treatments to slow down the progression of nearsightedness, protecting your child's long-term eye health.

• Patience and Play: We know kids can be wiggly or shy. Our staff is patient, friendly, and skilled at turning an eye exam into a fun, interactive game.

What to Expect During the Visit

We recommend that children have their first comprehensive eye exam before starting school, or sooner if you notice eye rubbing or crossing.

• A Relaxed Atmosphere: We allow extra time for pediatric appointments so your child never feels rushed or pressured.

• Thorough Binocular Assessment: We check more than just 20/20 vision. We test how the eyes work together (teaming), tracking ability, and focusing stamina—skills crucial for reading and attention.

• Parent Education: We believe in partnership. We will explain exactly what is going on with your child's vision and provide a clear, manageable plan for any necessary glasses, patching, or therapy.

Take the First Step Toward Their Success

Don’t let an undetected vision problem hold your child back in the classroom or on the sports field. Early intervention is the key to correcting many childhood eye conditions.
