Pediatric Ophthalmology Clinics

Pediatric ophthalmology clinics specialize in diagnosing and treating vision problems in children. These clinics focus on a range of eye issues, such as strabismus (crossed eyes), amblyopia (lazy eye), and congenital eye conditions. Pediatric ophthalmologists are trained to understand how children's eyes develop and how to effectively communicate with young patients and their families. The clinics often provide comprehensive eye exams, prescribe glasses or contact lenses, and offer treatments like eye patches or surgeries when necessary. Their goal is to ensure children have healthy vision to support their learning and development.
