Pediatric Ophthalmology

A Pediatric Ophthalmologist is someone who specializes in treating and managing eye conditions for children. These doctors can diagnose, treat, perform general eye surgeries and prescribe corrective glasses, especially for juvenile patients. Our pediatric ophthalmologists undergo extensive and comprehensive medical training to ensure the highest standard of service.

Common eye problems in children include strabismus, chalazion, amblyopia, and refractive errors such as myopia and hyperopia. .Pediatric Ophthalmologists are medically trained to address these issues effectively.

Children, unlike adults, may not always say what is bothering them- especially when it comes to their vision. Similarly, children may not be able to communicate properly with medical questions during assessments. Pediatric ophthalmologists specialize in examining and treating children using pieces of eye equipment specifically designed for children. This ensures the right diagnosis is given and proper treatment and mitigation are carried out .
