Pediatric Ophthalmology

Pediatric ophthalmologists specialise in the development of the visual system and the diseases that interfere with visual development in children. Pediatric ophthalmologists are also knowledgeable about the various ocular diseases that affect children. Pediatric ophthalmologists are trained to perform complex eye surgery and to treat children's vision problems with glasses and medications. Due to the unique needs of children, many ophthalmologists and other physicians refer Pediatric patients to a paediatric ophthalmologist for examination and management of ocular problems. Children with head turns, head tilts, squinting of the eyes, or preferred head postures (torticollis) are typically referred to a Pediatric ophthalmologist for evaluation, in addition to children with obvious vision problems. Adults with eye movement disorders are typically seen by paediatric ophthalmologists
