Pediatric Ophthalmology

Pediatric ophthalmology is a special branch of eye care focused on children’s vision and eye health. Kids’ eyes are still developing, so early detection and treatment of problems are very important for lifelong good vision. Common issues in children include squint (strabismus), lazy eye (amblyopia), refractive errors like nearsightedness or farsightedness, and even congenital cataracts.

Children may not always realize or tell you they have trouble seeing. Signs to watch for include frequent eye rubbing, squinting, sitting too close to the TV, or complaints of headaches. Regular eye check-ups can catch these problems early, making treatment much easier and more effective.

Treatments in pediatric ophthalmology are designed
to be gentle and child-friendly:

1. Glasses: For correcting vision problems like nearsightedness, farsightedness, or astigmatism.
2. Eye Patching: Used for lazy eye, where the stronger eye is covered to make the weaker one work harder and get stronger.
3. Eye Drops: Sometimes used to treat certain conditions or help with focusing problems.
4. Surgery: Needed for more serious issues like squint or congenital cataracts, and is usually safe and effective in children.

Early treatment can make a big difference in your child’s learning, confidence, and overall development. If you notice any signs of vision problems, or if your child hasn’t had an eye exam yet, schedule a check-up soon!

Eye Treatments We Provide

Our highly-trained, experienced, and dedicated team of ophthalmologists specializes in treating an array of eye conditions.

Cataract
Glaucoma
Cornea
Laser
Medical Retina

Cataract

Cataracts are a common eye problem, especially as we age. They cause the natural lens of the eye to become cloudy, making vision blurry or dim. Early on, cataracts may not affect your daily life much. Your doctor might suggest stronger glasses, magnifying lenses, or better lighting to help you see more clearly for a while. But as cataracts get worse, surgery is the only way to truly fix the problem and restore your vision.

Symptoms of cataracts include:

Clouded, blurred or dim vision.
Trouble seeing at night.
Fading or yellowing of colors.

Glaucoma

Glaucoma can damage your optic nerve and lead to vision loss or even blindness if not treated early. It usually happens when pressure builds up inside your eye, often because fluid can’t drain properly. The scary part? Glaucoma often has no early symptoms, so many people don’t even know they have it until their vision starts to fade.

Symptoms of Glaucoma include:

Eye pain or pressure
Headaches
Red or bloodshot eyes
Blurred vision

Cornea

The cornea is the clear, dome-shaped surface at the front of your eye that helps focus light for sharp vision. When the cornea gets damaged or diseased, it can cause blurry vision, pain, redness, or even vision loss. Common corneal problems include infections, injuries, keratoconus (when the cornea thins and bulges), and scars.

Symptoms of Cornea include:

Extreme sensitivity to light
Pus or discharge from your eyes
Blurred vision

Lasik Treatment

LASIK is the most popular option. In LASIK, a thin flap is made on your cornea, then a laser reshapes the tissue underneath to correct nearsightedness, farsightedness, or astigmatism. The flap is then placed back, and recovery is usually quick—most people see better within a day or two.

For the first week after your surgery, you may have:

Lubricating eye drops to manage dry eye symptoms.
Antibiotic eye drops to prevent infection.
Steroidal eye drops to prevent inflammation.

Medical Retina

The medical retina is a vital part of your eye health, focusing on diagnosing and treating diseases that affect the retina—the thin, light-sensitive layer at the back of your eye. The retina’s job is to capture light and send signals to your brain, helping you see images clearly.

Common of Medical Retina Problems:

Diabetic retinopathy
Enteral serous retinopathy
Hereditary/genetic retinal disorders.
