Who we are

At Albemarle Eye Center, we are dedicated to providing top-quality eye care services for children. With a focus on Children’s Eye Health and Safety, we prioritize the well-being of young patients and aim to preserve their vision for life. Our team of experienced ophthalmologists and optometrists are passionate about ensuring that every child receives the care they need to maintain healthy eyesight.

What we Do

We offer comprehensive eye examinations for children starting from the age of three. During these exams, our specialists can detect refractive errors such as nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism, as well as common eye diseases like amblyopia (lazy eye), strabismus (crossed eyes), ptosis (drooping eyelid), and color deficiency (color blindness). By identifying these issues early on, we can provide the necessary treatment to prevent further complications and ensure optimal vision for your child.

In addition to examinations, we also provide valuable information and resources to parents on how to keep their children’s eyes safe. We emphasize the importance of protective eyewear during sports and recreational activities to prevent eye injuries, which are a leading cause of vision loss in children. By educating parents on how to create a safe environment for their children’s eyes, we aim to reduce the risk of vision impairment and promote healthy vision habits from a young age.
