At Navjyoti Superspeciality Eye Hospital, Kankarbagh, Bihar, we offer Paediatric Eye Care for the healthy development of vision in children. A team of dedicated pediatric ophthalmologists is well-prepared to conduct diagnoses and treatments for a wide variety of eye conditions in infants, children, and teenagers. From routine eye examinations to sophisticated treatment of advanced diseases of the eye, we offer compassionate and comprehensive care suitable to the unique needs of young patients.
We understand that good vision is essential for a child's physical, emotional, and cognitive development. That's why our mission is to detect and treat eye problems early, safeguarding your child's future.
Children's eyes develop rapidly, and untreated vision problems can impact their learning, social interactions, and overall development. Many eye conditions in children are treatable if diagnosed early, making routine eye checkups crucial.
Some of the common reasons children need pediatric eye care are as follows:
Strabismus (Squint): This is a misalignment of the eyes that can affect vision.
Amblyopia (Lazy Eye): Reduced vision in one eye due to improper visual development.
Refractive Errors: This includes nearsightedness, farsightedness, or astigmatism requiring glasses.
Congenital Eye Conditions: These include cataracts or glaucoma present at birth.
Eye Infections or Injuries: Those that require prompt treatment to prevent complications.
Developmental Delays: Related to vision, affecting coordination and learning.
These problems can be solved early to ensure that children realise their potential.
The following are some signs parents should watch for that may indicate an eye problem:
Trouble focusing on objects or reading.
Eyes that are not aligned or frequently squint.
Keeping objects very close to the face.
Watery, red, or swollen eyes.
Headaches or rubbing the eyes.
Sensitivity to light or covering one eye to see clearly.
If you notice any of these signs, do not delay in scheduling an appointment with our pediatric eye care specialists.
Amblyopia occurs when one eye doesn't develop proper vision, often due to misalignment or refractive errors. Early intervention is critical to prevent permanent vision loss.
Patching: Covering the stronger eye to stimulate the weaker one.
Vision Therapy: Exercises to improve eye coordination and focus.
Corrective Lenses: Glasses or contact lenses to correct refractive errors.
Squinting causes one or both eyes to point in different directions. If left untreated, it may lead to double vision or poor depth perception.
Corrective glasses or prism lenses
Eye muscle surgery to adjust the position of the eyes
Vision therapy to help improve coordination
These include myopia (nearsightedness), hyperopia (farsightedness), and astigmatism.
Prescription glasses tailored for children’s activities.
Regular monitoring to adjust prescriptions as your child grows.
Children are born with cataracts that may be opaque, causing blockages or distortions in the child's vision.
Removal of cataract through surgery
Post-surgery visual rehabilitation in glasses or contact lenses.
Increased pressure inside the eye results in this rare but very serious form of glaucoma, causing loss of vision.
Medication to lower eye pressure.
Surgical intervention to facilitate drainage.
Active children easily develop injury and infection conditions like conjunctivitis (pink eye).
Antibiotics or drops in the eye
Surgical procedures: eyelid lacerations
Diagnostic facilities of vision in children
In the Navjyoti Superspeciality Eye Hospital, we apply friendly diagnostic equipment with a child to obtain accurate assessments without pain. We offer the following tests for assessment:
Visual acuity: The age-wise customised test is performed through charts or games.
Retinoscopy: To check the refractive errors by giving a verbal response.
Binocular Vision Assessment: In order to assess eye alignment and coordination.
OCT Scans: To obtain detailed imaging of the retina and optic nerve.
Corneal Topography: To study corneal shape and structure.
These advanced devices assist us in detecting even mild vision issues at the nascent stage.
We employ the latest diagnostic and treatment technologies to ensure that we produce accurate results and proper care.
We offer a full spectrum of pediatric eye care services under one roof- from routine eye exams to advanced surgeries.
Each child is unique, and we create a custom treatment plan according to the individual's needs and conditions.
