Primary Eye Care
At Medical Optometry America, we provide comprehensive primary eye care services to ensure your eyes stay healthy and any potential issues are detected early. Just as you have a primary care provider for your general health, and dentist for your oral health, you need a primary eye care doctor for your eye health
What is Primary Eye Care?
Primary eye care involves regular, comprehensive eye exams to monitor and maintain the health of your eyes. It includes diagnosing, treating, and managing various eye conditions before they become serious problems.
Think of it like having a primary care provider for your eyes—someone who knows your eye health history and provides continuous care. At MOA, our primary eye care doctors are dedicated to providing the highest level of care, similar to how a cardiologist cares for your heart or a pulmonologist care for your respiratory system.
Just like taking your child to their annual check-up with the pediatrician is important, taking them to a pediatric eye doctor to conduct an eye exam should be on your checklist too!

- Vision Evaluation and Correction: Starts with comprehensive eye tests to evaluate your vision and determine if you need a prescription . If so, we’ll evaluate your health and anatomy to determine what the best correction is; whether it’s glasses, contact lenses, orthokeratology, refractive surgery, etc.

Signals Your Child Needs a Pediatric Eye Exam
If your child develops myopia early, has a family history of myopia, or their glasses prescription changes frequently, this is not normal and requires immediate attention. These children need more frequent eye exams to manage their condition effectively.
Other signals that your child might need an eye exam include:
- Frequent Squinting: Squinting can indicate that your child is having trouble seeing clearly.
- Sitting Close to Screens: If your child often sits very close to the TV or holds devices close to their face, it could be a sign of vision problems.
- Rubbing Eyes Often: Frequent eye rubbing can indicate eye strain or discomfort.
- Complaints of Headaches: Regular headaches, especially after reading or screen time, can be a sign of vision issues.
- Difficulty Concentrating: Vision problems can affect your child’s ability to focus on tasks, impacting their school performance.
- Covering One Eye: If your child covers one eye to see better, it may indicate an issue with their vision in one eye.
- Tilting Head: Tilting the head to one side can be a sign of a vision problem that needs to be addressed.
If you notice any of these signs, it’s essential to schedule an eye exam as soon as possible. Early intervention is key to maintaining your child’s eye health and overall well-being.
