Specialised vision care from childhood

From refraction assessment to the treatment of amblyopia and strabismus, we assess each child’s eye health and vision needs.

Retinoscopy

An examination that helps determine children’s refractive errors, particularly when an objective assessment of vision is needed.
Retinoscopy is an examination method used to assess refractive errors such as myopia, hyperopia and astigmatism. By observing the reflection of light in the eye, the ophthalmologist can determine refractive error and assess the need for optical correction. In children, this examination is often performed after eye drops are used to relax focusing, when needed to obtain more accurate measurements.

Refraction Assessment

Assessment of refractive error to identify vision problems and determine whether glasses are needed.
Refraction assessment helps identify problems that may affect children’s visual clarity. During the examination, the ophthalmologist assesses how the eye focuses light and determines whether glasses are needed. Early detection and correction of refractive errors are especially important while vision is developing.

Preamblyopia Treatment

Treatment for reduced vision in one or both eyes, aimed at supporting normal visual development.

Amblyopia, also known as “lazy eye,” is a condition in which vision does not develop normally during childhood, even when there is no obvious damage to the eye. Treatment depends on the cause and may include correcting refractive error with glasses and, when recommended by the ophthalmologist, temporarily covering the stronger eye or using other therapies. Early detection and regular follow-up are important for treatment outcomes.

Strabismus Treatment (Eye Misalignment)

Assessment and treatment of eye misalignment to improve alignment and visual development.
Strabismus is a condition in which the eyes do not point in the same direction. In children, it can affect visual development and the ability of both eyes to work together. Treatment depends on the type and degree of misalignment and may include glasses, amblyopia treatment or other appropriate interventions. Regular check-ups help monitor visual development and response to treatment.

Fundoscopy

Examination of the back of the eye to assess the retina and optic nerve in children.
Fundus examination allows assessment of the internal structures at the back of the eye, including the retina, blood vessels and optic nerve. In children, it can help identify changes that require further assessment or monitoring. Depending on the child’s age and the purpose of the examination, the ophthalmologist may use eye drops to dilate the pupil for a better view of the eye structures.
