Paediatric ophthalmology
Specialty of Ophthalmology
Paediatric ophthalmology is the area of medicine that deals with the eye and its diseases in children, from birth through adolescence. Since some eye diseases begin to show symptoms at these ages, it is very important to consider childhood ophthalmology as part of their general health care. Among the most common conditions are lazy eye and strabismus. Also, if any of the family of the patient has congenital diseases associated with vision, early checks and follow-ups are a necessity.
