Paediatric Ophthalmology

Our dedicated team specialises in paediatric ophthalmology, providing comprehensive treatment for a wide range of eye conditions that affect children. We have expertise in managing sight-threatening conditions such as paediatric glaucoma, cataract, and congenital opacities of the cornea.

We also have comprehensive services in:

1 Squint Management: We are equipped to handle the diagnosis and treatment of squint, also known as strabismus. Squint is a condition in which the eyes do not align properly. Our early detection methods enable us to provide effective treatment options.

2 Amblyopia Management: Amblyopia, commonly known as lazy eye, refers to reduced vision that cannot be corrected with glasses or contact lenses. Our team specialises in managing this condition to ensure optimal vision development.

3 Refraction in Young Children: We utilise eye drops to perform refraction tests in young children who may not be able to respond to traditional methods. This allows us to accurately assess their vision needs.

4 General Eye Problem Management: We also offer comprehensive care for general eye problems in children, including eye soreness, allergic conjunctivitis, and eyelid lumps.

Amblyopia

Amblyopia, commonly referred to as lazy eye, is a condition where there is reduced vision that cannot be fully corrected with glasses or contact lenses. It is not caused by any eye disease, but rather a lack of proper brain processing of images from the amblyopic eye. Although it typically affects only one eye, it can lead to reduced vision in both eyes.
