Trusted Pediatric Eye Doctor in the South Hills

At our South Hills practices, we care for children’s eyes with the same warmth and attention we’d want for our own families. We start seeing kids as young as 3, making each visit feel relaxed, comfortable, and even a little fun.

Whether it’s your child’s very first eye exam or a regular checkup, we’re here to help them see clearly and feel confident, at whichever location is right for you.

Why Early Eye Exams Matter for Kids

Children use their eyes to explore, learn, and make sense of the world around them. But many vision problems can often go unnoticed—especially when kids don’t yet have the words to describe what’s wrong. Regular pediatric eye exams allow us to catch issues early, so your child doesn’t have to struggle with reading, socializing, focusing, or classroom confidence.

From blurry distance vision and eye teaming concerns to trouble with tracking or focus, our exams help identify concerns before they turn into setbacks. And even if everything looks great, you’ll leave with peace of mind that their vision is on the right track.

 

What We Look For During a Pediatric Eye Exam

Every child is different, which is why we tailor our care to your child’s age and comfort level. During their visit, we’ll check:

  • Eye alignment and movement

  • Visual acuity and depth perception

  • Eye teaming and focusing ability

  • Signs of amblyopia (lazy eye) or strabismus (eye turn)

  • Whether glasses might help with clarity or comfort

We go at your child’s pace and use simple, kid-friendly language to help them feel comfortable and involved every step of the way.

This care is available at all of our locations, so no matter where you visit us, your child will receive the same personalized, kid-friendly experience.

Dr. David Boehme and Dr. Jeffrey Boehme bring both clinical excellence and a friendly, approachable touch to pediatric care. Our team knows that a child’s trust is earned, and we work hard to make every visit a positive memory.

Myopia Management for Kids in the South Hills

More kids are being diagnosed with myopia (nearsightedness) at younger ages as time goes on. Left unmanaged, it can worsen quickly and increase the risk of serious eye problems later in life, such as glaucoma and macular degeneration.

At Community Eye Care, we offer myopia management options such as specially designed MiSight® contact lenses and lifestyle strategies to help slow progression and support long-term eye health.
