Pediatric Ophthalmology and Strabismus (POS)

Pediatric Ophthalmology and Strabismus (POS) is a medical specialty focused on diagnosing and treating eye conditions in children. It addresses issues like nearsightedness, farsightedness, lazy eye (amblyopia), and crossed eyes (strabismus). Pediatric ophthalmologists are eye doctors trained to manage visual development, eye movement disorders, and eye health in kids. Early detection and treatment are important to prevent vision problems from affecting learning and development. Treatments may include glasses, eye patches, exercises, or surgery, aiming to improve vision and ensure healthy visual development during childhood.
