Paediatric ophthalmology is a branch of eye care dedicated to diagnosing and treating vision problems in newborns, infants, and children. Early childhood is a critical time for vision development, and conditions like squint (crossed eyes), lazy eye (amblyopia), congenital cataracts, and refractive errors can affect not just sight but also learning and overall growth. Many children may not realize they have vision issues, so regular eye check-ups are essential. At Dr. Praveen Eye Hospital and Research Centre, we offer specialized screenings and treatments designed for young patients, ensuring problems are detected early and managed effectively. Timely care can prevent permanent vision loss and help children lead healthy, active, and confident lives.
