Pediatric Eye Care in Phoenix
Camelback Eye Care provides pediatric eye care in Phoenix for infants, children, and teens in a calm, family-friendly environment. Our approach to children's eye care focuses on reassurance, clear explanations, and age-appropriate care at every visit.
Not Sure If It Is Time for an Eye Exam?
Parents usually notice the small things first. Squinting, sitting close to screens, rubbing eyes, or avoiding reading can all be signs your child is working too hard to see clearly.
If you have a concern, bring your child in. A Phoenix eye doctor can check vision and eye health and tell you what is normal and what needs follow-up.
Infant Eye Exams and InfantSEE
Many parents worry that their baby is too young for an eye exam. Infant exams are designed to be gentle and stress-free.
We evaluate early visual development, eye alignment, and overall eye health using simple, age-appropriate methods.
Camelback Eye Care participates in the InfantSEE program, which provides no-cost comprehensive eye assessments for eligible infants.
This visit helps parents understand what to expect from an infant or pediatric eye exam and gives families a trusted starting point for long-term eye care in Phoenix, AZ.

Your child does not need to know letters to be tested. We use pictures, shapes, and simple instructions based on age, so the exam stays comfortable and accurate.

Myopia Management for Children
If your child’s prescription jumps every year, you are not imagining it. Nearsightedness can progress quickly in childhood, and many parents want options beyond repeatedly updating glasses.
We offer myopia management options in Phoenix, , including MiSight® daily contact lenses, low-dose atropine, and Stellest lenses. We will explain what each option is designed to do and help you choose a plan that fits your child’s routine.
When to Schedule Your Child’s Eye Exam
Some families schedule exam exams annually. Others come in because something changed. If you are unsure whether it is time, these are common reasons parents schedule pediatric eye care visits:
-
Squinting, eye rubbing, or frequent headaches
-
Sitting close to screens or having difficulty seeing at school
-
Reading fatigue or avoiding close work
-
A prescription that changes quickly from year to year
-
A family history of myopia or other eye conditions
-
Eyes that appear crossed, drifting, or not working together
