Pediatric ophthalmology is a branch of medicine that focuses on the diagnosis and treatment of eye disorders in children. It addresses a wide range of conditions, including amblyopia (lazy eye), strabismus (crossed or misaligned eyes), refractive errors (nearsightedness, farsightedness, astigmatism), and congenital cataracts.
Early detection and treatment of eye conditions in children are essential for preventing long-term vision problems and ensuring proper visual development. Pediatric ophthalmologists use specialized techniques and equipment to assess and treat eye conditions in children, often employing non-invasive methods to ensure comfort. Early intervention can help improve outcomes and prevent permanent vision loss in young patients.
