Paediatric Ophthalmology
Paediatric Ophthalmology is a specialized branch of eye care focused on diagnosing and treating vision and eye-related problems in infants, children, and teenagers. Since a child’s vision is still developing, early evaluation and timely treatment are essential to ensure healthy visual growth and prevent lifelong vision issues. Early detection and treatment can improve vision, support learning and development, and prevent permanent vision loss.
Healthy vision in childhood builds a brighter, clearer future.
