Chelsea Sallee knew her son KJ was developmentally delayed. “He just wasn’t exploring like other kids,” she said. “Friends at church had even noticed he had sort of a blank stare. Turns out, he just couldn’t see.” Early detection is crucial for children's vision and brain development 🧠, as highlighted by Dr. Catherine Betor, who is a pediatric ophthalmologist at Mercy Kids. She explains that the brain starts learning to see at birth, and if images from the eyes are unclear, it can hinder proper visual development, leading to amblyopia—a condition that children may not recognize or report. Read the rest of KJ’s story to learn how early detection allows for effective treatment, and how Mercy pediatricians in Springfield use the GoCheck Kids vision screener on our MultiScreener device. 📲 https://lnkd.in/eu6rjrUR #pediatrichealthcare #earlydetection #gocheckkids #mercy
