Our Pediatric Ophthalmology Services

1. Routine Eye Examinations: Regular eye exams are crucial for detecting and addressing vision problems early in children. Our specialists conduct thorough eye examinations to assess visual acuity, eye alignment, and overall eye health. Early detection of conditions such as refractive errors, strabismus (crossed eyes), and amblyopia (lazy eye) is essential for effective treatment.
2. Refractive Error Management: Refractive errors such as myopia (nearsightedness), hyperopia (farsightedness), and astigmatism can affect a child’s ability to see clearly. We offer comprehensive assessments and prescribe corrective lenses or other treatments to ensure optimal vision and support academic performance and daily activities.
3. Strabismus (Crossed Eyes) Treatment: Strabismus is a condition where the eyes do not align properly, leading to double vision or impaired depth perception. Our pediatric ophthalmologists use advanced techniques to diagnose and treat strabismus. Treatment options include glasses, prisms, vision therapy, and surgical intervention to correct eye alignment and improve binocular vision.
4. Amblyopia (Lazy Eye) Management: Amblyopia, or lazy eye, occurs when one eye is weaker than the other, affecting vision development. Early intervention is crucial for successful treatment. Our specialists provide personalized treatment plans, which may include patching the stronger eye, atropine eye drops, and vision therapy to strengthen the weaker eye and improve visual acuity.
5. Pediatric Cataract Surgery: Cataracts can occur in children, leading to blurred vision and impaired development. Our skilled surgeons perform pediatric cataract surgery to remove the cloudy lens and restore clear vision. Postoperative care includes fitting intraocular lenses (IOLs) and providing visual rehabilitation to support visual development.
6. Congenital and Genetic Eye Disorders: Some children are born with congenital or genetic eye disorders that require specialized care. Our team is experienced in diagnosing and managing conditions such as congenital glaucoma, retinopathy of prematurity (ROP), and genetic retinal diseases. We offer advanced treatments and ongoing management to ensure the best possible outcomes.
7. Pediatric Eye Trauma and Emergencies: Accidents and injuries can cause eye trauma in children. Our pediatric ophthalmologists are equipped to handle eye emergencies, providing prompt and effective treatment to minimize damage and preserve vision.
