Learn about the conditions and treatments Dr. Potter specializes in for children and families.
Strabismus Diagnosis & Treatment
Strabismus (crossed or misaligned eyes) affects eye coordination and depth perception. Dr. Potter offers both non-surgical and surgical treatment options to restore proper eye alignment in children and adults.
Learn MoreAmblyopia (Lazy Eye)
Amblyopia occurs when one eye develops weaker vision than the other during childhood. Early detection and treatment with patching, eye drops, or corrective lenses can help restore balanced vision before it becomes permanent.
Learn MoreNystagmus
Nystagmus is an involuntary, rhythmic movement of the eyes that can affect visual clarity and development. Dr. Potter evaluates the underlying cause and provides treatment strategies to optimize your child's vision and comfort.
Learn MorePediatric Glaucoma
Pediatric glaucoma is a rare but serious condition that causes increased pressure inside the eye, potentially damaging the optic nerve. Early diagnosis and treatment are critical to preserving your child's vision.
Learn MoreRetinopathy of Prematurity
Retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) is a condition that affects the retinal blood vessels in premature infants. Timely screening and intervention can prevent vision loss and protect your baby's developing eyes.
Learn MoreEye Care for Children with Down Syndrome
Children with Down syndrome have a higher risk of eye conditions including strabismus, refractive errors, and blocked tear ducts. Dr. Potter provides specialized exams and treatment plans tailored to their unique needs.
Learn MoreWhen to Refer to a Pediatric Ophthalmologist
Not sure if your child needs a pediatric eye specialist? This guide covers the signs, symptoms, and age-based milestones that indicate a referral to a pediatric ophthalmologist may be needed.
Learn MoreDoes Your Child Need a Pediatric Eye Exam?
Many childhood eye conditions have no obvious symptoms. Children may not realize their vision is different from anyone else's. Regular eye exams with a pediatric ophthalmologist can catch problems early, when treatment is most effective.
The American Academy of Ophthalmology recommends eye screenings at birth, 6 months, 3 years, and before starting school. If you notice any of the warning signs listed here, schedule an evaluation sooner.
Your child's eye health matters. Dr. Potter provides a thorough evaluation to identify any issues early and recommend the best course of action for your child's vision.
