Pediatric Ophthalmology and Strabismus Pathology

Pediatric ophthalmology focuses on eye care for children, addressing issues like vision problems and eye diseases common in childhood. Strabismus, a condition where the eyes do not align properly, affects depth perception and vision clarity. This can lead to amblyopia, or "lazy eye," if untreated. Pediatric ophthalmologists diagnose and treat these conditions through various methods, including glasses, patches, or surgery. Understanding and addressing these issues early is crucial for a child’s visual development and overall quality of life.
