Paediatric Ophthalmology and Squint Treatment
Paediatric ophthalmology focuses on diagnosing and treating eye conditions in children, ensuring healthy vision development. Strabismus (squint) is a common issue where the eyes are misaligned, potentially leading to amblyopia (lazy eye) if untreated.
Treatment Options:
- Glasses and Patches: Corrective lenses or eye patches to improve vision and alignment.
- Vision Therapy: Exercises and activities to strengthen eye muscles and improve coordination.
- Surgery: Procedures to align the eyes and correct muscle imbalances.
- Specialized Treatments: For congenital eye disorders, infections, and other pediatric-specific conditions. Early detection and treatment are crucial to prevent long-term vision problems and support healthy visual development in children.
