Pediatric Red Eye

Eye infections are not uncommon in children but any recurrent “infection” may not actually be an infection.

If your child is having recurrent or consistent redness, tearing, pain, and / or light sensitivity this may be a sign of a more serious condition than a typical eye infection. Bacterial eye drops only work for bacterial infections. If the redness returns after eye drops, it may be a sign that something else is the root cause.

We try to prioritize these cases the same day, if not the same week. Please call us at (972) 758-0625 if this sounds like something your child is having.
