Dr. Christina Reichardt is proud to be one of the leading eye care specialists in Tucson, with a distinguished focus as a pediatric eye doctor. She runs National Eye & Ear with her father, Dr. Kenneth Gosses.
If you are a parent, you may be wondering whether your child has trouble seeing properly or when you should consider scheduling their first eye exam. Scheduling routine eye checks for your children will allow them to maintain good eye health as they grow and prevent underlying vision problems from developing. Experts suggest that around 5 to 10% of preschoolers and 25% of children have vision problems. If left untreated, childhood vision issues can affect confidence levels and their learning ability, and can even result in irreversible vision loss or more severe health issues once they reach adulthood.
At National Eye & Ear of Tucson, our in-house pediatric optometrist in Tucson, AZ, will identify and treat any vision problems your child has, allowing them to return to their normal routine happier and healthier. Dr. Reichardt has worked in family optometry for well over a decade, performing eye care services for children of all ages in the Tucson Community, including complete eye exams, eye health, vision, detection, and treatment of eye disease, and fitting young patients with contact lenses and glasses.

At the start of your child's eye exam at National Eye & Ear, Dr. Reichardt will perform a full examination of your child's eyes to detect and diagnose any possible vision problems.
It will be important to inform Dr. Reichardt about your child's medical history at the beginning of your child's appointment. Be sure to let her know about your child's medical problems, allergies or any medications they might be taking.
Dr. Reichardt will also need to know about your child's vision history. This includes mentioning whether they have ever had any previous ocular diagnoses or treatments (such as eyeglasses, contact lens prescriptions or surgeries), as well as if your child has any family history of vision problems such as myopia (nearsightedness), hyperopia (farsightedness), strabismus (misaligned eyes) or amblyopia (lazy eye).
Dr. Reichardt is also one of the leading eye care practitioners specializing in treating glaucoma in the Tucson area. Glaucoma is a condition caused by excessive fluid buildup in the front of the eye, which places pressure on the optic nerve and can lead to blindness if untreated.
While rare, glaucoma can also develop in children. Dr. Reichardt has the right expertise to treat pediatric glaucoma so that it does not worsen as children get older.
