Vision Development in Children: What Parents Need to Know — with Dr. Jarrod Davies

n this episode of Healing Our Sight, Denise talks with her eye doctor, Dr. Jarrod Davies, about vision development in infants and children and how parents can recognize when something may be interfering with healthy visual growth.Dr. Davies explains what developmental optometry and vision therapy are, how early milestones relate to binocular vision and eye teaming, and why the idea of a strict “critical period” is often misunderstood. He also shares practical guidance for parents — including what to watch for, when to seek a second opinion, and simple home activities that support visual development.The conversation also explores school accommodations and parent advocacy, sports vision, concussion-related vision issues, and why function matters more than appearance when it comes to eye alignment.This episode is especially helpful for parents who want to better understand their child’s vision, feel unsure about next steps, or have been told to “wait and see.”If you’re a parent, educator, or adult navigating vision concerns and looking for community support, discussion, and trusted resources, you’re invited to join the Healing Our Sight Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/search/top?q=healing%20our%20sightIf you liked this episode, click here to send me a message.
