🍂🦃 Happy Thanksgiving from University Children’s Eye Center!

We asked our doctors a fun holiday question:
“What’s your favorite Thanksgiving food?”

Their answers were warm, surprising, and full of personality... but you’ll have to watch the video to find out what they picked! 👀✨

We’d love to hear from you, too:
What’s YOUR favorite Thanksgiving dish?
Turkey? Stuffing? Cranberry sauce? Or a special family recipe? Share it with us in the comments!

👓 Exciting news for parents! Stellest lenses are now FDA-approved in the U.S. for slowing the progression of childhood myopia.

At University Children’s Eye Center, we explain how these specially designed lenses work, why they’re different from regular glasses, and when they’ll be available for your child.

While only select optical shops currently carry Stellest lenses, we’re looking forward to prescribing them regularly in the near future!

👓 What Is Hyperopia (Farsightedness)?

Hyperopia happens when light focuses behind the retina instead of directly on it — making close-up vision blurry (and sometimes distance vision, too). Kids with higher levels of hyperopia may experience eye strain, headaches when reading, or even develop crossed eyes or a “lazy eye.”

The good news? Glasses or contact lenses can easily bring things into focus! 👀

A small amount of farsightedness is common in children, but if your child struggles to see up close, schedule an eye exam with University Children’s Eye Center to ensure healthy vision for years to come. 💙

If your child keeps rubbing their eyes, it could be due to allergies, eye strain, or even too much screen time. 👀 In most cases, a little dryness is to blame, but if there’s redness or discharge, it could signal an infection that needs attention. In this video, Dr. Rana of UCEC explains when it’s okay to use over-the-counter drops like Refresh or Systane, and why Visine should be avoided for kids.

Keep Those Little Eyes Fright-Free This Halloween! 🧙‍♀️

Fog machines, flashing lights, and costume makeup can all make Halloween a bit spooky — especially for sensitive eyes!

This season, help your little ones keep their vision clear and comfy:
🧡 Avoid costume contacts (they can irritate young eyes!)
🧡 Rinse off makeup before bed
🧡 Schedule an eye check if your child’s been squinting or complaining of headaches

From all of us at University Children’s Eye Center — have a safe, eye-conic Halloween! 🎃

Does your child wake up complaining of dry eyes—especially in the colder months? ❄️ A humidifier in their bedroom or near screen-time spaces can make a big difference. Pair it with good hydration and, if needed, artificial tears at bedtime for extra relief. Simple steps for more comfortable eyes! 👀✨

Struggles with headaches, double vision, or trouble focusing while reading can sometimes be caused by convergence insufficiency—when the eyes drift outward for tasks that are close at-hand.

At University Children’s Eye Center, we use orthoptic therapy, a series of targeted eye exercises, to help children strengthen eye coordination and reduce symptoms. Unlike broader “vision therapy” programs, our focus is on proven, effective treatment for convergence insufficiency.

🧠 Stronger eye control = easier reading, better learning.

Headaches in children can come from many sources—sinuses, teeth, allergies, or even vision problems. 👓 An eye exam is often the first step to rule out neurological concerns and check for issues like the need for glasses or binocular vision problems. If your child often complains of headaches, an eye checkup can provide answers and peace of mind. 💙

If your child is suddenly having trouble seeing the board at school, it’s important to figure out what’s behind it. 👀

Sometimes it’s as simple as needing glasses, but a sudden change in vision should always be checked right away.

In this video, Dr. Rana from the University Children’s Eye Center explains when to schedule an eye exam, when to call your pediatrician, and how to make sure your child’s eyesight gets the care it needs.

Sometimes kids say they can’t see because they want glasses. But how can you tell if it’s real or not? At University Children’s Eye Center, our doctors use retinoscopy to measure vision accurately, and even placebo lenses to confirm whether a child truly needs glasses.

No guessing—just clear answers for your child’s eye health. 💙

Did your child fail an eye exam at the pediatrician’s office? Sometimes astigmatism in little ones is normal and they may grow out of it. But if the astigmatism is more than age-appropriate, it can lead to lazy eye (amblyopia), a condition best corrected at a young age.

At University Children’s Eye Center, our specialists use dilation and careful evaluation to make sure your child’s eyes are developing properly. Early detection = better outcomes!
