Episode Synopsis

Vision loss and changes are becoming more common in children. In this episode, we discuss some risk factors for vision loss in children and what you can do to mitigate your child's risk. Additionally, we review the most up-to-date evidence on screening children for vision loss and the newest available technology for doing so. We hope this information helps parents advocate for the best available vision screening for their children and empowers them with information to avoid risk factors and mitigate the risk factors present in their child's environment. Being a parent comes with a lot of questions. Is this normal? Am I doing a good job? (The answer is yes by the way). This podcast is here to provide support and guidance based on medical literature and best practice guidelines. As a mother herself, Dr. Blair Rolnick knows how hard it is to find answers and advice based on research that you can trust. As a pediatrician with specialty training in pediatric emergency medicine and a certified lactation consultant, she brings specialist training to the table and seeks to use strong medical evidence to empower parents on their journey through parenthood.
