Peadiatric Ophthalmology

At Wellbeing Eye Centre, we provide specialized pediatric eye care to protect and improve your child’s vision from an early age. Children’s eyes require expert attention, and our experienced ophthalmologists are trained to diagnose and treat a wide range of eye conditions in a gentle, child-friendly environment.

What is Pediatric Ophthalmology?

Pediatric ophthalmology focuses on the diagnosis and treatment of eye conditions in infants, children, and teenagers. Since children may not always express vision problems clearly, regular eye check-ups are crucial for identifying issues early.

Common Eye Conditions in Children

We diagnose and treat:

Lazy eye (Amblyopia)
Squint / crossed eyes (Strabismus)
Refractive errors (near-sightedness, far-sightedness, astigmatism)
Eye infections and allergies
Blocked tear ducts
Congenital eye conditions

Signs Your Child May Need an Eye Check-Up

Watch for these symptoms:

Frequent eye rubbing
Squinting or closing one eye
Difficulty reading or focusing
Sitting too close to screens or books
Head tilting or eye misalignment
Complaints of headaches or blurred vision

If you notice any of these signs, early evaluation can prevent long-term vision problems.
