Pediatric Ophthalmology & Squint
What is a Squint and How is it Treated?
A squint (or strabismus) occurs when the eyes do not point in the same direction. One eye may turn inwards, outwards, upwards, or downwards. This can happen constantly or only when the child is tired or looking at near objects.
- Early Detection is Key: Treating a squint early helps prevent long-term vision issues and promotes healthy binocular vision (eyes working together).
- Gentle Treatments: Many squints can be managed with special glasses, eye patches, or simple eye exercises before considering surgery.
What is a Lazy Eye (Amblyopia)?
"Lazy eye" happens when the brain favors one eye over the other, leading to poor vision in the weaker eye. We offer comprehensive, fun, and engaging therapies to retrain the brain and eyes to work as a perfect team.
Interactive Therapies
We utilize modern, play-based strategies like virtual reality and eye-hand coordination exercises to make vision therapy enjoyable for children.
Focusing & Alignment
Through specific visual processing routines, we help improve how the eye focuses and converges, preventing double vision and eye strain.
How to Control Myopia in Children?
Refractive errors simply mean the eye needs a little help focusing light properly. This can cause blurriness when looking near (farsightedness) or far away (nearsightedness / myopia).
Myopia Control: Nearsightedness in children is becoming more common, but it doesn't just mean getting stronger glasses every year. We provide specialized treatments to genuinely slow down the progression of myopia, protecting their long-term eye health as they grow.
