Other Childrens Conditions
Eye conditions affecting children differ from those affecting adults. In addition, any loss of vision is compounded by a loss of visual brain development known as amblyopia.
Our paediatric ophthalmologists are trained to manage a wide range of children’s eye problems and rehabilitate any associated amblyopia.
The American Association of Pediatric Ophthalmology and Strabismus (AAPOS) provide an extensive library of information on eye conditions.
