Pediatric Ophthalmology

Children’s eye care needs are different from those of adults. No one understands this as well as the pediatric ophthalmologists at Kashmir Eye Hospitals. We specialise in diagnosing and treating common and rare eye conditions in infants, children and teens.
Early diagnosis and treatment of childhood eye diseases and disorders significantly impact your child’s physical, emotional and social development. If you have an infant, you must consider their vision screening during the first year of life.

Vision screening should be repeated periodically throughout childhood, particularly between the ages of 3 to 5 years to detect amblyopia or its risk factors. Children with a family history of amblyopia, strabismus, congenital cataracts, congenital glaucoma, or retinoblastoma may benefit from a complete eye exam.

Children with certain medical conditions such as intellectual disabilities, developmental delay, Down syndrome, neurofibromatosis, prematurity, or behavioural issues benefit greatly from a comprehensive eye examination by an ophthalmologist. If you suspect a problem or if there is a family history of eye disease, schedule an appointment with our pediatric ophthalmologists at Kashmir Eye Hospitals.
