Squint & Pediatric Ophthalmology

Children's eyes are still developing, and problems left untreated in early years can cause permanent poor vision (lazy eye). Squint, glasses needs and congenital eye problems are best treated early.

Every child should have an eye check before school, and premature babies need retinopathy screening. Treatment may include glasses, patching, eye exercises or surgery.
