Pediatric ophthalmology focuses on the diagnosis and treatment of eye conditions in infants, children, and teenagers. Children’s eyes are still developing, and early detection of vision problems is crucial for ensuring healthy visual development. At Dr. Maha Eye Clinic, we create a child-friendly environment where young patients feel comfortable and safe, while using advanced technology to provide accurate diagnosis and effective treatment.

Indications and Common Conditions
A pediatric eye exam is recommended if your child shows any of the following signs:
• Frequent squinting, eye rubbing, or blinking.
• Crossed eyes (strabismus) or misaligned eye movements.
• Difficulty reading or seeing the board at school.
• Complaints of headaches or eye strain.
• Family history of eye diseases.
Common conditions we treat include refractive errors (nearsightedness, farsightedness, astigmatism), lazy eye (amblyopia), strabismus, blocked tear ducts, and eye infections.

Treatment Options
Our approach combines precise diagnosis with age-appropriate treatments, including:
• Prescription glasses or contact lenses for vision correction.
• Eye patching or vision therapy for amblyopia.
• Corrective surgery for strabismus.
• Medical and surgical management of congenital eye conditions.
We work closely with parents to ensure treatment plans are easy to follow and tailored to the child’s lifestyle and needs.
