Clinic Doctors | Pediatric Ophthalmology

A Pediatric Ophthalmologist has special skill in diagnosing and managing eye disorders in children such as strabismus (misalignment of the eyes), amblyopia ("lazy eye"), blocked tear duct, prematurity, congenital cataracts and refractive errors (e.g. myopia, hyperopia, astigmatism). In treating various eye conditions, a Pediatric Ophthalmologist can prescribe glasses and medications and can also perform a variety of eye surgeries, particularly eye muscle surgery. Adults with eye muscle problems or double vision are also treated by a Pediatric Ophthalmologist.
