Paediatric Ophthalmologist

A children's eye doctor, or paediatric ophthalmologist, diagnoses, prevents, and treats diseases that affect children's eyes and vision.
Good eye care is essential during childhood as many visual problems develop while the eyes are growing and may affect the child's future development.

Conditions that are treated with children's ophthalmology:
  • Developmental disorders, which are often diagnosed shortly after birth or within the first year of life
  • Refractive/optical problems (short-sightedness, long-sightedness, astigmatism)
  • Short-sightedness (myopia) is becoming more common in children and young people, and over the past two years, new treatments have become available to slow down the worsening of myopia
  • Amblyopia (commonly known as lazy eye)
  • Strabismus
  • Inflammation on the surface of or inside the eye, including allergic eye disease
  • Infections of the conjunctiva, the transparent membrane which covers the white part of the eye and the inside of the eyelids
  • Eyelid lesions.
