Infant and Children's Vision
As a parent, ensuring your child's health is a top priority, and that includes taking care of their vision. Here are some tips:
- When to start: Ensure your child undergoes eye exams before age one, around 3 years, and every one to two years during school age.
- Start with a Pediatric Eye Care Specialist: Professionals such as Kennedy Eyecare specialize in children's eye care and are trained to make the eye examination experience more child-friendly. They understand the unique needs of young patients and can provide a comfortable environment for your child's eye health check-ups.
- What to expect: Children's eye health is a cornerstone of their overall well-being and academic success and a pediatric-focused approach involves utilizing interactive tools, colorful imagery, and age-appropriate techniques to make every visit a positive and engaging adventure.
From infancy through adolescence, pediatric eye care services address a spectrum of issues such as:
- Refractive Errors: This includes nearsightedness (myopia), farsightedness (hyperopia), and astigmatism. Correcting these issues (e.g. with eye glasses) is crucial to ensure clear vision for various activities, including reading, writing, and participating in sports.
- Lazy Eye (Amblyopia): Amblyopia occurs when one eye has significantly better vision than the other, leading to the brain favoring the stronger eye. Identifying and addressing amblyopia early will promote balanced visual development.
- Strabismus (Crossed or Misaligned Eyes): Strabismus is a condition where the eyes do not align properly. Kennedy Eyecare in McAlester can diagnose and manage strabismus to prevent vision issues and promote proper eye coordination.
- Eye Tracking Problems: Difficulty in smoothly moving the eyes across a line of text or following objects can impact reading and learning.
- Color Vision Deficiency and Visual Processing Disorders: Color vision deficiencies, commonly known as color blindness, may impact your child's academic and daily activities. Some children may experience difficulties in processing visual information efficiently, which can affect learning and performance in various tasks.
Orthokeratology
Kennedy Eyecare is one of the eye care professionals in McAlester, offering Ortho-K services. Orthokeratology is a non-surgical method of temporarily reshaping the cornea of the eye using specially designed contact lenses. The goal of orthokeratology is to reduce, control, or slow the progression of myopia (nearsightedness) or astigmatism. The lenses used in orthokeratology are either rigid, gas-permeable lenses or special daily replaceable soft contact lenses such as the overnight therapeutic lenses ACUVUE Abiliti and CooperVision MiSight.
The process involves the patient wearing these specially designed lenses while they sleep or during the day. And the lenses intended for daytime wear also offer vision correction. The lenses gently reshape the cornea, and upon waking, the patient can remove the lenses and experience improved vision without the need for glasses or contact lenses during the day. The effects of orthokeratology are temporary, so the lenses need to be worn regularly, typically every night, to maintain the corrected vision.
Orthokeratology is sometimes referred to as corneal reshaping therapy. It is becoming a popular option for adults to achieve freedom from daytime vision correction and for children to slow the progression of childhood myopia. Good candidates for Ortho-K are:
- Children between the ages of eight and 14 with progressive myopia.
- Adults with low to mild nearsightedness.
- Patients with low to moderate astigmatism.
Consult with Kennedy Eyecare to determine if orthokeratology is an option for you or your child.
Advanced Digital Eye Exams
Advanced digital eye exams haved pushed optometry into a new era of precision and insight, offering an in-depth evaluation of your ocular health beyond the possibilities of conventional visual acuity assessments. These exams empower eye care professionals to proactively address ocular diseases and maintain optimal vision. Digital non-invasive diagnostic methods and technologies include:
Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT)
Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) employs low-coherence interferometry to capture cross-sectional images of the retina with remarkable precision. By utilizing light waves, OCT creates detailed three-dimensional maps, enabling your eye doc to delve into microscopic layers of the retina, optic nerve, and other vital structures of your eye. These unparalleled imaging capabilities make it possible for detecting and monitoring a spectrum of conditions. From macular degeneration to glaucoma and diabetic retinopathy, OCT facilitates early intervention and personalized treatment strategies.
Corneal topography also plays a key role in optimizing contact lenses by providing detailed insights into the cornea's shape and structure. This information ensures a tailored approach to contact lens fitting, leading to enhanced comfort and visual performance for individuals wearing contact lenses.
Visual Field Testing
Mapping out a patient's peripheral vision is part of a comprehensive assessment for early detection of conditions like glaucoma, retinitis pigmentosa, and neurological disorders. This digitized approach enhances reproducibility, offering eye care professionals a robust tool for the early detection and management of peripheral vision anomalies.
Corneal Topography
Corneal Topography is another cornerstone of advanced digital diagnostics. It creates detailed 3D maps of the cornea's surface, enabling eye care professionals to diagnose conditions such as astigmatism and keratoconus with unparalleled accuracy.
Wavefront Analysis
Wavefront Analysis evaluates how light traverses through through your eye. The test identifies aberrations that extend beyond traditional refractive errors, ensuring a tailored approach to addressing higher-order aberrations. It plays a crucial role in customizing vision correction procedures like LASIK, optimizing not just visual acuity but also contrast sensitivity and night vision.
Curious about how advanced digital eye exams can benefit your vision? Call Kennedy Eyecare in McAlester for additional information and to schedule an appointment.
OTC Ready-to-go Eyewear

These options include reading glasses, sunglasses, safety glasses, and even progressive OTC glasses.

Discover all the latest advancements in lens technology with our online video libray. From adaptave technology to uv filters, we have all your lens needs covered. Built on the foundation of patient convenience and satisfaction, we serve all of your family’s eye care needs under one roof. We're looking forward to seeing you! What we see is a result of light being sensed by our eyes. With normal glasses, much of the light reflects off the lenses. This produces glare. It also reduces the wearer’s visual acuity. In other words, the light reflection is both a cosmetic and visual problem.
At Kennedy Eyecare, patients have many options in finding the right type of contact lens for their vision correction needs. You can choose from daily or monthly disposable lenses, contacts for astigmatism, multifocal lenses, colored lenses, and much more. After a comprehensive evaluation of your eye, Kennedy Eyecare can recommend the contact lenses that are best for you including lenses from Acuvue, CooperVision, Alcon, Bausch + Lomb and other manufacturers.
