Pediatric Orthoptics

Pediatric orthoptics focuses on diagnosing and treating eye movement disorders in children, such as lazy eye (amblyopia) and strabismus (crossed eyes). Orthoptists assess how the eyes work together and how well each eye sees. They create customized therapy plans, which may include exercises, glasses, or patches to improve vision and alignment. Early intervention is crucial, as it can lead to better outcomes in a child's visual development. Ultimately, pediatric orthoptics helps children achieve clear vision and proper eye coordination, enhancing their overall quality of life and learning.
