See the World in Living Color
with EnChroma Lenses
Every child deserves to experience the full spectrum of vibrant colors. Color vision deficiency, often called color blindness, can make it hard for some children to distinguish certain hues. Fortunately, innovations in lens technology like EnChroma are helping to change that.
At Belle Vue Specialty Eye Care in Hattiesburg, we guide families through understanding color vision challenges and exploring if EnChroma lenses are the right fit for your child. The first step is a comprehensive eye exam to assess your child’s unique needs.

Understanding Color Vision Deficiency in Children
Color vision depends on special cells in the eye called cones, which detect red, green, and blue light. When these cells do not function properly, children experience difficulty telling some colors apart.
Color vision deficiency can affect learning and everyday activities. Children may not even realize their world looks different, which can lead to challenges at school or in play.

Who Can Experience Color Vision Deficiency?
Color vision deficiencies are actually quite common. Although these vision issues appear more often in males, both genders can be affected. Sometimes, children with color vision deficiency aren’t aware of their condition and may not know something is wrong!
The most common type of color vision deficiency is red-green color blindness, which has 4 variations:
- Deuteranomaly: Trouble distinguishing reds and greens, with a world dominated by blues and yellows.
- Protanomaly: Red shades appear dull or gray, affecting perception of objects and skin tones.
- Protanopia: Complete lack of red cone cells, making red, green, and orange difficult to see.
- Deuteranopia: Complete lack of green cone cells, causing confusion between reds, greens, and yellows.
How EnChroma Lenses Can Help
EnChroma lenses are specially designed to address red-green color vision deficiency by filtering specific light wavelengths. This reduces overlap in color signals, helping the brain distinguish colors more clearly.
Around 80% of those with red-green color blindness report improved color perception after wearing EnChroma lenses.
If you suspect your child has difficulty with color vision, they can take the EnChroma Color Vision Test online. This easy step can provide valuable insight and help guide their eye care.

What Our Patients are Saying
Several years before seeing Dr. Lott our child had surgery to “correct” her particular eye issue. We were told by other doctors she needed same surgery again for the same issue, but instead we decided to try Vision therapy at Belle Vue. Best decision we ever made! Dr. Lott, Dr. Maples, and the staff at Belle Vue have worked wonders with our child’s vision. Wish we would have tried vision therapy from the very beginning. Our child’s vision & grades have greatly improved and now LOVES to read! Belle Vue is the BEST!!
MR
The best combination of professional expertise and caring, individual attention around! Dr. Megan and all the staff were incredibly helpful in providing direction and care for our newly adopted twins from China, and the time they spent making sure the kids felt comfortable was over-and-above what I ever expected. Cannot recommend them highly enough!
LM
My kids love coming here! They are very kind, caring, patient, and friendly. Love the staff and Dr. Lott!!!
BM
If your child has been struggling in school, I encourage you to bring them here before you do anything else. My daughter had vision issues beyond the usual 20/20 that were inhibiting reading comprehension, writing, and focus. When Dr Lott had measured tests with a plan to treat and improve each one my daughter’s challenges, I knew we had come to the right place. She just did her final evaluation, and her progress over twelve weeks of therapy was astounding. I’m so very grateful for the wonderful therapists at Belle Vue.

Dr Megan Lott is amazing! My daughter has multiple disabilities and she did not once hesitate to treat her. We had been to two other pediatric ophthalmologists, one which wrote her off and one which advised us to go to the Low Vision clinic, before we found Dr Lott. Dr Lott understood what my focus was for my daughter’s vision and worked to come up with a plan to help her have the best use of her functional vision. We got her glasses this afternoon and she hasn’t stopped looking around and smiling and giggling since! Thank you from this mama’s heart for giving my daughter a whole new world!

My son was struggling in school and had very little confidence in himself. Dr. Lott and the staff at Belle Vue were the help that he needed! The results of his vision therapy amaze me! Homework is no longer an ordeal and he is now an honor roll student. He is now very confident and doesn’t approach things with an “I can’t” attitude. I honestly believe that the vision therapy he received at Belle Vue will help him succeed in life!

Dr. Lott and her staff at Belle Vue Specialty Eye Care are extraordinary. Along with being professional and very knowledgeable, they have such a sincere concern for all of their patients. I cannot thank Dr. Lott and her staff enough for what they have done for my family. The Hattiesburg area is so extremely fortunate to have them treating our children. I will always be grateful!
We love Dr Lott and everyone who works there. They are so nice!! Both of my boys went through vision therapy and the progress they made was remarkable. We can not thank them enough!!

BVESC staff is always so welcoming to my children – even though having my children in the office can be chaotic. Beyond that, they provide in depth exams that go further than do you need a glasses prescription but to try to get to the root of the matter. They provide in-house therapy and refer out for therapy. My son no longer needs glasses due to their services!!!!
BH
Dr. Megan Lott is amazing! Her knowledge and expertise as an eye care specialist is second to none. We are so very grateful for the way she has helped our entire family. She spent countless hours preparing a plan for one of our grandsons and pouring encouragement into his heart and mind to help him overcome dyslexia. Dr. Meagan has our highest recommendation and support.
DR
My son was provided a thorough eye exam and vision testing per Dr. Lott. Outstanding, professional, knowledgeable service combined with superior excellence in listening, assessment and critical thinking skills. The entire staff is great with children (and mom 😉 ). As a mom of 4 kids (oldest is 23y.o., youngest is 9y.o.) and RN background, I admit this is super rare find! Very impressed with Dr. Lott and office staff. Thank y’all so much for caring!!

If you are looking for exceptional service and expertise, this is it. Very knowledgeable, professional, and helpful! Our little guy had a great experience, and the service and eyeglass selection is phenomenal!
KV
Dr. Lott is amazing. After 2 other pediatric ophthalmologists simply dismissed my daughter and her vision deficits, we found Dr. Lott. She believed in Addison’s potential to increase her functional vision. Not only did Addison’s eye tracking improve but her head control all improved because she had a reason to look up now! Dr. Lott does whatever it takes to help a child see!
CD
The most amazing people work in this clinic. My son has been a patient with them for 6 months. He has Autism.
They have been a miracle for us. He is no longer on seizure medication, he wasn’t he having seizures. He couldnt see. His reading on a 8.2 reading level. He is 7. He is more social. ODD and OCD are not as bad.
They found what numerous Dr’s and therapist had missed.
LH
We thought my son had dyslexia because he had so many symptoms that pointed in that direction. Then we heard about Dr Lott! We immediately had him tested and started on therapy. I could see vast improvements in confidence and interest in physical activity. We just finished a second round of therapy and we were shocked at the difference in his testing. He had improved in so many areas.
My favorite thing to date is that he has almost finished reading a 150 page chapter book since yesterday!! He always hated reading before therapy. I couldn’t recommend Bellevue Specialty Eye Care enough!
KR
Dr. Lott was so thorough and took the time to sit and explain everything to me. It was well worth the 85 mile trip one way! There’s gonna be a 10 year old little girl that will see the best in her life from now on. Everyone was very welcoming and polite. Would definitely send people to her.
