Pedriatric Ophthalmology

“What are so mysterious as the eyes of a child”……Let’s take care of them together.

What is Pediatric Ophthalmology?

Pediatric ophthalmologists are expert to diagnose and treat children’s eye problems and prescribe eyeglasses and contact lenses accordingly. They are so skilled at recognizing the subtle signs of an eye problem that a baby or young child cannot describe.

We are all equipped to manage the following problems in children:

  • Conjunctivitis
  • Amblyopia- The term strabismus applies to other types of misalignments, including an upward, downward, or outward turning eye.
  • Blocked tear ducts
  • Ptosis
  • Retinopathy of prematurity
  • Nystagmus
  • Visual Inattention
  • Pediatric cataracts
  • Pediatric glaucoma
  • Abnormal vision development
  • Refractive errors such as myopia, hyperopia, astigmatism etc.
  • Orbital tumers
  • Squint
Eyes Are Precious, Keep Them Well

Some very common children eye problems

If you are concerned about your child’s eye health and you feel, he might be suffering from a pediatric eye problem.. Please make a visit

Amblyopia

Amblyopia is decreased vision in one or both eyes due to abnormal development of vision in infancy or childhood. In amblyopia, there may not be an obvious problem of the eye. Vision loss occurs because nerve pathways between the brain and the eye aren’t properly stimulated. The brain “learns” to see only blurry images with the amblyopic eye even when glasses are used. As a result, the brain favors one eye, usually due to poor vision in the other eye. Another word for amblyopia is often “lazy eye.” It is the leading cause of vision loss amongst children.

What is Squint?

Squint is misalignment of the eyes in which the right and left eyes are pointed in different directions. Though it is a common condition among younger populations, affecting 2 to 4 percent of children, it may also appear later in life. The misalignment may be permanent or it may be temporary, occurring occasionally. The deviation may be in any direction: inward, outward, upward or downward.
