Our dedicated team of specialists is committed to providing exceptional eye care for children of all ages. With our expertise in paediatric eye conditions, we aim to ensure that every child receives the best possible vision care in a comfortable and child-friendly environment.
Paediatric ophthalmology is a specialised branch of eye care that focuses on the diagnosis, treatment, and management of eye conditions in children, from newborns to adolescents. It differs from adult ophthalmology in its approach, as young patients require special attention and care due to their unique needs.
Our paediatric ophthalmologists are experienced in dealing with a range of common eye conditions affecting children.
Many newborns have blocked tear ducts, which can lead to tearing, discharge, and eye irritation. Our specialists are skilled in diagnosing and providing appropriate treatments for this condition to ensure your baby’s comfort.
Myopia, or short-sightedness, is becoming increasingly prevalent among children due to factors like increased screen time and indoor activities. Early intervention is crucial in managing myopia to prevent its progression and potential complications like retinal detachments. Our experts are well-versed in myopia management techniques, including glasses, contact lenses, and other innovative approaches.
We can diagnose and treat refractive errors and squints in children to promote healthy vision development and prevent long-term complications.
At our Phoenix Hospital Group, we offer a comprehensive range of specialised services tailored to meet the unique needs of our young patients. Our services include:
When you visit our clinic, you can expect a warm and welcoming atmosphere, specifically designed to put children at ease. Our ophthalmologists will take the time to explain each step of the examination to your child, ensuring they feel comfortable and relaxed during the process.
You will be encouraged to be present during the examination, and we will gladly answer any questions or concerns you may have about your child’s eye health.
