Pediatric Ophthalmic Surgery

Pediatric ophthalmic surgery refers to surgical procedures performed on children to treat various eye conditions. This can include correcting issues like strabismus (crossed eyes), removing cataracts, or addressing retinal problems. These surgeries are specialized due to the unique anatomical and developmental considerations in children's eyes. The goal is to improve vision, comfort, and quality of life, ensuring that children's visual systems develop properly. Pediatric ophthalmic surgeons are trained to work with young patients, using techniques that minimize anxiety and discomfort while achieving effective results.
