Pediatric Ophthalmology and Strabismus

Pediatric ophthalmology is a specialized field focused on diagnosing and treating eye conditions in children, including infants and adolescents. Strabismus, commonly known as crossed eyes, is a condition where the eyes do not align properly, which can affect vision and depth perception. Pediatric ophthalmologists use various methods to assess and manage these conditions, ensuring appropriate treatments that may include glasses, patching therapy, or surgery. Their goal is to promote healthy vision development and prevent long-term visual problems in children.
