The staff at Dankner Fiergang Eye Associates is eager to help all children. Our offices are handicap accessible to facilitate examinations for children with special needs. We examine children with all types of physical; intellectual; and emotional disabilities. These children have a higher than average risk for vision problems. The vision problem can in turn exacerbate the child's disability. It may be difficult for parents to identify signs and symptoms of visual problems in their children; especially if the children have difficulty communicating. It is important for parents to know that a child who is unable to communicate can still have an accurate eye examination when performed by a skilled pediatric ophthalmologist.
