Pediatric Ophthalmology is a specialized branch of eye care that focuses on the diagnosis and treatment of eye problems in children—from newborns to teenagers. Since a child’s eyes are still developing, early detection and timely treatment are extremely important.
If left untreated, certain eye conditions can permanently affect vision. Regular eye check-ups and early intervention play a key role in ensuring healthy vision development in children.

Squint (Strabismus) – Misalignment of the eyes
