Dr. W. Eric Jones is trained in the evaluation, diagnosis, treatment, remediation, and enhancement of the visual systems of children. His services include:
Eye exams for kids
He is specially equipped to perform eye exams without making them intimidating. Dr. Jones uses a calm and friendly approach and makes the tests fun. From special eye charts with pictures to fast autorefractor machines that take the guess work out of vision tests, Dr. Jones caters to kids.
Explanations for parents
He takes the time to talk to you about your child's visual development, explain vision problems and give you treatment options.
An interdisciplinary approach
If your child's vision problem is affecting school performance or behavior issues, Dr. Jones will work in cooperation with teachers, school nurses, psychologists, pediatricians and other professionals as directed by the parents. He provides a thorough written report of his findings.
Special testing
When indicated based on the eye exam or other symptoms, Dr. Jones will run specialized diagnostic tests as part of a binocular vision evaluation or developmental vision evaluation.
Children's Eyewear
Fountains Eyecare Center has lots of frames that look cool and fit well so kids actually love their glasses! We use durable products and safe polycarbonate lenses plus we have a great warranty program. We are always here to repair glasses when needed.
Contacts are OK for kids
Contact lenses have changed and they are safer and more convenient than ever, making them a great option for younger children. Disposable contacts take the worry out of losing lenses; we even fit lenses that are thrown away after each day of use! Personal appearance and self-esteem are important factors in a child's development and many kids are thrilled with the idea of not wearing glasses. Contacts are a great option for sports and other activities. An easy, in-office, free trial can tell us if a child is ready. |
