Eyes are continuously developing throughout childhood. At Summerville Pediatric Eyecare, we offer a range of optometric care practices that monitor the quality of your child's vision, making it easier to detect any eye diseases that may be developing in your child before their vision is damaged. Vision therapy can be an excellent alternative for children with vision problems that glasses or contact lenses can't treat.
Designed to help manage symptoms like strabismus and amblyopia, visit us today to discover the ways vision therapy could benefit your child. The first step towards safeguarding your child's vision is booking them an eye exam. When you bring your child in, we'll test the quality of their vision as well as assess their overall eye health, helping to ensure that any potential eye conditions are caught early and dealt with effectively.

Services
At Summerville Pediatric Eyecare, we focus on making optometric care and vision therapy services accessible. Your children's visual health is our priority, and we have worked hard to ensure our practice is an inclusive and welcoming environment for all kids. We specifically chose muted colors for our office, so that visits to the eye doctor are as easy as possible for children with sensory processing issues.
If your child is struggling in school, it could be because of a vision problem. At Summerville Pediatric Eyecare, we can help your child improve their vision, thereby improving their chance of success in school. It is important to remember that 80% of what children learn is acquired through their visual process so, if they are struggling to see clearly, it can significantly affect how they learn.
Good vision and eye health are paramount to your child's development and success. Regular eye exams can significantly help by identifying issues before they are given a chance to progress. We specifically focus on pediatric eye conditions, making us uniquely qualified to help promote healthy development in your child's eyes.
A 2015 study has shown that children with diabetes are not at a high risk of developing diabetes-related eye conditions, and in-depth examinations can begin at a later date. The American Academy of Ophthalmology recommends that individuals with type 1 diabetes have annual screenings starting 5 years from their initial diagnosis.
Contact lenses provide visual clarity that many wearers find preferable for day-to-day life. An alternative to glasses, contacts are available in a variety of types that can correct most refractive errors. Certain types of contact lenses can even treat certain corneal irregularities, providing long-lasting results.

Dr. McCartney and staff saved the day!! My son tested positive for COVID a few days ago and we couldn’t get an appointment with his regular pediatrician. Our cat had scratched his eyeball and it was very red and sore. I knew he needed antibiotic drops but thought I was going to have to resort to taking him to the ER. The staff was friendly, patient and very helpful. We appreciate you so much for helping us!

I found this place by googling pediatrics eye doctors. The staff was nice and friendly. The doctor was just as nice. I took my twin daughters and one is special needs and the doctor was comfortable with her. My daughter is non verbal and in a wheelchair and the eye exam was very easy for her. I highly recommend this place of business for all children!!!

Overall this is an okay location. They need to hire front desk staff that can open the office on time
I have watched the front desk scramble to get the lights on and unlock the door. This is day two that I showed up to pick up my daughter glasses and the lights are off. Please update your office hours to reflect when someone will be in the building to serve your patients.#wasteoftimeandwasteofgas

The visit today was by far the best experience I've had at any doctors office, let alone the eye doctor!
There was friendly and helpful staff, beautiful office and the customer service was amazing!
Was in and out in less than an hour and the prices were so affordable!
Very pleased and will be using them for my children from now on!

Dr McCartney is very pleasant and she was great with our Daughter. She worked with our unique situation and our Daughter’s special needs. She was efficient at getting the exam done and did the exam without having to dilate her pupils which was great! It’s rare that our Daughter is calm for doctor appts and this was the BEST one yet! Our daughter is has cystic fibrosis and due to a special medication, needs yearly eye exams to role out cataracts as the drug she takes is linked to cataract development. The office is clean and everyone wore a mask, putting us at ease as our Daughter is only 3

Dr. McCartney and staff were fantastic. They helped my son and educated me. All were friendly. Would recommend to anybody that's has little kids. The way they do the testing is different and better than other eye doctors who claim to see pediatrics. I will return with my daughter to be tested by them!
