• CHILD EYE CARE

    1. HomeNewsCHILD EYE CARE
    Regular eye exams are a necessary part of your child’s healthcare routine. Oftentimes, vision exams are provided by pediatricians during yearly well-visits, but a thorough eye exam by an ophthalmologist at least once every two years remains the best way to determine if your child is experiencing vision difficulties or certain eye conditions.

    Vision Care for Children

    It is not uncommon for children to have vision difficulties such as nearsightedness, farsightedness, or astigmatism. Particularly in families in which one or both parents suffer from these vision disorders, a child may develop problems early on.

    Symptoms of potential vision disorders in children include:

    • Poor school performance
    • Difficulties reading and writing
    • Taking a long time to complete simple assignments
    • Frequent complaints of headaches or eye strain

    Our eye doctors are experienced in offering eye exams and vision correction services to children of all ages. Even if your child is not showing any signs of vision difficulties, during regularly scheduled examinations, we can help determine if your child’s eyes are developing properly, and detect early signs of potential disorders.

    If you are searching for an experienced family ophthalmologist in Kansas City, please contact Silverstein Eye Centers to schedule a consultation.

    Our Specialties:

    Premium lens implants provide a continuous range of vision from near to far. In contrast to standard lens implants which require glasses for distance or close-up vision, premium lens implants expand your range of functional vision for both distance and near vision. Corrective eyewear may still be necessary for some activities, but the freedom from glasses and contact lenses is incredible. Learn more about our Premium Lens Implant options.
    A healthy cornea is critical to your vision and general health. When your cornea is damaged by injury, infection, or disease, your ability to focus is compromised because the incoming light can be distorted or blocked. Steven Silverstein MD, FACS is a fellowship-trained cornea specialist. He is an internationally renowned expert, and will expertly treat any corneal issues you may have.

    Ask us about Prokera, a biologic corneal bandage that has natural therapeutic actions known to heal the eye faster with less pain, scarring, and inflammation.
    If you have been diagnosed with cataracts, cataract surgery is the only way to restore your vision. Your choice of a cataract surgeon can have a significant impact on the quality of your results, so choosing your cataract surgeon carefully is worth the time and effort. At Silverstein Eye Centers, we use only the most advanced technology for laser-assisted cataract surgery. Learn more about cataract treatment options.
    LASIK laser vision correction has enabled millions of people who are nearsighted, farsighted, or have astigmatism, to reduce or eliminate their dependence on glasses or contacts. Dr. Silverstein has been performing LASIK procedures since the technology first became available, and is an expert in the field. Learn more about LASIK vision correction.

    Proactive eye care starts with routine examinations. Our complete examination will reveal any eye problems, even hidden ones you may not be aware of.

    If you have diabetes, high blood pressure, heart disease, arthritis, elevated cholesterol, or thyroid disease, your vision and the health of your eyes could be affected. Also, certain medications can cause visual problems, which is why it’s so important to have your eyes examined on a regular basis. Contact us today to schedule your next appointment!
