Conditions We Treat
Refractive Errors
Children can experience refractive errors such as nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism. We provide comprehensive eye exams to detect these issues early and prescribe corrective lenses to ensure optimal vision.
Pediatric Cataracts
Cataracts in children, though rare, require prompt attention. Our pediatric ophthalmologists are experienced in diagnosing and treating pediatric cataracts, often using surgical intervention to restore clear vision.
Blocked Tear Ducts
Blocked tear ducts are common in infants and can lead to excessive tearing and infection. Our specialists can perform procedures to open the tear ducts, relieving symptoms and preventing further complications.
Pediatric Glaucoma
Glaucoma is a serious condition that can occur in children, leading to increased eye pressure and potential vision loss. Our team is adept at managing pediatric glaucoma through medication and surgery when necessary.
Retinopathy of Prematurity (ROP)
Premature infants are at risk for retinopathy of prematurity, a condition that can affect the retina and vision. We offer thorough screenings and treatments to manage and mitigate the risks associated with ROP.
Strabismus (Crossed Eyes)
Strabismus is the misalignment of the eyes, which can affect vision and appearance. Our team offers both non-surgical and surgical options to correct eye alignment, ensuring that your child can see clearly and confidently.
Amblyopia (Lazy Eye)
Amblyopia, commonly known as lazy eye, is a condition where one eye does not develop proper vision. Early detection and treatment are crucial. Our specialists use a variety of methods, including patching and vision therapy, to strengthen the weaker eye and improve vision.
Our Services
Comprehensive Eye Exams
Regular eye exams are essential for detecting vision problems early. We provide thorough eye examinations tailored to the needs of children, ensuring any issues are identified and treated promptly.
Vision Therapy
For conditions like amblyopia and certain binocular vision problems, we offer vision therapy programs designed to improve visual skills and processing.
Surgical Interventions
When surgery is necessary, our pediatric ophthalmologists use minimally invasive techniques to correct eye conditions, ensuring quick recovery and minimal discomfort.
