History
Children's Eye Care was formed in 2008 when two established pediatric ophthalmologists set out to form a child-centric pediatric eye care practice. Dr. David Epley, MD has been in practice since 1998 and Dr. Krista Heidar, MD since 2006. Both doctors are Board Certified in Ophthalmology by the American Board of Ophthalmology. Both doctors are active in their community, the Washington Academy of Eye Physicians and Surgeons, the American Association for Pediatric Ophthalmology and Strabismus, and the American Academy of Ophthalmology. Dr. Aida Mekouar, OD joined the practice in 2013 and is active in the American Optometric Association and the American Academy of Optometry. Drs. Heidar and Epley treat medical and surgical diseases of the eye. Dr. Heidar also treat adults with eye muscle balance or movement disorders (strabismus and nystagmus). Dr. Mekouar sees children for routine exams for glasses or contacts and for medical conditions.
