Child Eye Care & Squint

Happy Kids Getting Eye Checkup

We Make Eye Care Fun & Fear-Free for Children

At our clinic, we believe early eye care should be gentle, engaging, and worry-free. Our pediatric eye care - friendly atmosphere—with bright colors, toys, and a caring team—ensures that every child feels safe and at ease during their eye checkup.

Why Child Eye Care Matters

Children's vision develops rapidly in their early years, and eye care during this critical period is essential. Many vision problems can go unnoticed by parents, so regular eye exams are crucial for detecting conditions like squint surgery, amblyopia (lazy eye), and refractive errors. Early intervention helps prevent long-term vision impairment and promotes healthy child vision development.

Comprehensive Pediatric Eye Exams

Our pediatric eye care exams are thorough and non-invasive. They involve checking for refractive errors, eye alignment, and visual development. Early diagnosis can help prevent permanent damage to vision.

Refractive Errors

Myopia (nearsightedness), Hyperopia (farsightedness), Astigmatism

Eye Alignment & Movement

Squint (Strabismus) & Lazy Eye (Amblyopia)

Eye Health Assessment

Checking for developmental disorders and other vision-related issues

When to Start Eye Exams

We recommend the first comprehensive eye exam at 6 months, then at 3 years, before starting school, and annually thereafter.

Key Pediatric Eye Conditions We Treat

We specialize in detecting and treating a range of common childhood eye issues that, if addressed early, can significantly improve long-term vision outcomes.

Amblyopia

"Lazy Eye" - Reduced vision in one eye due to abnormal visual development in early childhood.

Treatment Options:
  • Eye patching therapy
  • Prescription eyeglasses
  • Vision therapy exercises
  • Atropine eye drops
90%+ Success Rate

when treated before age 7

Squint

"Strabismus" - Misalignment of the eyes where they point in different directions.

Treatment Options:
  • Prescription eyeglasses
  • Eye muscle exercises
  • Prism lenses
  • Surgical correction
Types Include:

Esotropia (inward), Exotropia (outward)

Pediatric Cataract

Clouding of the lens in a child's eye, which can be present at birth or develop later.

Treatment Options:
  • Surgical removal
  • Intraocular lens implantation
  • Contact lenses
  • Post-surgery vision therapy
Early intervention is critical to prevent amblyopia and ensure proper visual development

Pediatric Glaucoma

A rare but serious condition involving increased pressure in the eye that can damage the optic nerve.

Treatment Options:
  • Medications to lower eye pressure
  • Microsurgery
  • Goniotomy procedure
  • Trabeculotomy
Requires immediate medical attention - early diagnosis is vital for preventing vision loss

Squint (Strabismus) in Children

Squint is a condition in which the eyes are not aligned properly. One eye may turn in, out, up, or down. This misalignment can lead to reduced depth perception and poor vision development in the turned eye if not treated promptly.

Causes of Squint

Causes of Squint
Genetic Factors

Family history plays a significant role in pediatric strabismus

Refractive Errors

Uncorrected farsightedness (hyperopia) can cause inward-turning eyes

Muscle Imbalance

Weakness or abnormal development in eye muscles that control alignment

Neurological Issues

Certain neurological disorders can affect eye muscle control

Treatment Options

Squint Treatment
Corrective Glasses

Often the first treatment for squint caused by refractive errors

Vision Therapy

Specialized exercises to improve eye coordination and alignment

Eye Patching

May be used in combination with other treatments for amblyopia

Surgical Correction

Adjusting the position of eye muscles to improve alignment
