Children's Eye Doctors — Dedicated to Helping Kids See Clearly

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 Gaithersburg pediatric eye doctor at Montgomery Village Eye Center.

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 Montgomery Village Eye Center will carefully examine their eyes and provide guidance to ensure your child's healthy vision.

This was my first visit with Dr. Samala Khan and I had an amazing experience. The office staff was v... ery friendly with getting me setup before the doctor came. When running through my annual exam and updating my prescription Dr. Khan was very thorough and kind. She was continuously checking in on how my new prescription felt and even had me walk around to make sure they weren't too strong since she wanted to try a new stronger prescription. After the appointment Stephanie Figueroa helped me with check out and helped me get the most of my insurance so I only paid for the co-pay. She explained that my past eye doctor's were not billing my insurance correctly so I was pay a lot more for my exam and my contacts. I'm so grateful to have found this office and highly recommend for anyone looking for a new eye doctor's office! Also there was a LQBTQIA+ pride flag on the welcome desk showing this is a safe space which I really appreciated ❤️
