Pediatric Eye Care
What is Pediatric Eye Care?
Pediatric eye care is a specialized branch of ophthalmology focused on diagnosing and treating vision problems and eye health issues in children, from infancy through adolescence.
Unlike adults, children’s visual systems are still developing, making early detection and treatment crucial to ensure proper vision development and prevent lifelong vision problems.
Pediatric eye care includes:
Routine Eye Examinations to assess vision and eye health
Diagnosis of Common Disorders such as refractive errors (myopia, hyperopia, astigmatism), strabismus (crossed eyes), amblyopia (lazy eye), and congenital cataracts
Management of Eye Diseases like infections, allergies, and pediatric glaucoma
Monitoring Visual Development during growth phases
Vision Therapy to correct issues without surgical intervention when possible
Early intervention can greatly improve a child’s academic performance, confidence, and overall quality of life.
