Children’s eye health is crucial for their overall development, learning, and quality of life. Pediatric eye diseases, if left untreated, can lead to long-term vision problems that may impact academic performance and daily activities. At Yashoda Nethralaya, we specialize in diagnosing and treating a wide range of pediatric eye conditions with a child-friendly approach to ensure optimal visual development.

Common Pediatric Eye Conditions We Treat

1. Refractive Errors (Myopia, Hyperopia, Astigmatism) – Blurred vision due to improper focusing of light on the retina.

2. Amblyopia (Lazy Eye) – Reduced vision in one eye due to abnormal visual development in early childhood.

3. Strabismus (Squint Eye) – Misalignment of the eyes, which can affect depth perception and lead to double vision.

4. Congenital Cataract – Clouding of the eye’s natural lens present from birth, which requires early intervention.

5. Pediatric Glaucoma – Increased eye pressure leading to optic nerve damage and vision loss.

6. Allergic Conjunctivitis – Eye allergies causing redness, itching, and tearing in children.

7. Blocked Tear Ducts – A condition causing excessive tearing and discharge, often requiring minor surgical intervention.

Advanced Diagnosis and Treatment

Our pediatric ophthalmologists use specialized diagnostic tools and treatment methods to address various eye disorders in children:

• Comprehensive Eye Examinations: Early screening to detect vision problems and ensure timely treatment.

• Glasses and Contact Lenses: Prescription lenses to correct refractive errors and improve vision clarity.

• Patching Therapy for Amblyopia: Covering the stronger eye to stimulate visual development in the weaker eye.

• Vision Therapy & Eye Exercises: Customized programs to enhance eye coordination and focusing abilities.

• Strabismus Surgery: A surgical procedure to align the eyes and improve binocular vision.

• Cataract & Glaucoma Surgery: Advanced surgical interventions to restore vision in congenital cataracts and pediatric glaucoma.
