Paediatric Eye Surgery

Paediatric eye conditions can significantly impact a child's development and quality of life.

Early detection and appropriate intervention are essential to prevent long-term vision problems and promote healthy visual development. Paediatric eye surgery plays a crucial role in addressing various eye conditions that affect children, including:

  • Strabismus (Crossed Eyes)
    Strabismus is a condition in which the eyes are misaligned and point in different directions. Surgery can help realign the eyes and improve binocular vision, depth perception, and overall eye alignment.

  • Paediatric Cataracts
    Cataracts can develop in children for various reasons, including genetic factors, metabolic disorders, and trauma. Surgical removal of the cataract and implantation of an intraocular lens (IOL) can restore clear vision and prevent amblyopia (lazy eye).

  • Congenital Glaucoma
    Congenital glaucoma is a rare but serious condition characterized by increased intraocular pressure that can damage the optic nerve and lead to vision loss. Surgery is often necessary to reduce intraocular pressure and preserve vision.

  • Ptosis (Drooping Eyelid)
    Ptosis is a condition in which one or both eyelids droop lower than normal, potentially obstructing vision. Surgical correction of ptosis can improve both the appearance and function of the eyelids, allowing for better vision and eye comfort.

  • Retinopathy of Prematurity (ROP)
    ROP is a potentially blinding condition that affects premature infants. Laser therapy or surgical intervention may be required to prevent retinal detachment and preserve vision in these vulnerable infants.
