Conditions We Treat
Pediatric ophthalmologists have a special way with kids, talking and relating to them so they understand vision problems and feel comfortable during eye exams. Our specialists perform eye exams and surgery as well as care for eye injuries.
Early diagnosis and treatment is important to prevent eye diseases and vision disorders from progressing and severely hindering your child's eyesight. They can treat a range of conditions, including:
- Eye muscle disorders
- Amblyopia (“lazy eye”)
- Retinopathy of prematurity (often called ROP or Terry syndrome)
- Ptosis (drooping eyelid)
- Nasolacrimal duct (tear duct) obstructions
- Strabismus (abnormal alignment of the eyes)
