Pediatric Ophthalmology and Strabismus

Cataracts and glaucoma, which we frequently see in adults, as well as many retinal diseases, can occur either at birth or in the early stages of life. Very early and severe retinal diseases can be seen in premature babies. There are also many rare, genetic eye diseases that occur in childhood. Pediatric ophthalmology and strabismus is a medical specialty that focuses on eye problems and strabismus conditions seen in children.

Pediatric Ophthalmology at Liv Hospital

It is extremely important to monitor children's vision development, treat strabismus and correct refractive errors. Treatment of amblyopia is very difficult or even impossible after a certain age. Working in coordination with the pediatric team, Liv Hospital Pediatric Ophthalmologists successfully treat pediatric patients using advanced diagnosis and treatment methods.

Pediatric Ophthalmology Procedures

Pediatric ophthalmology procedures include a variety of procedures performed to evaluate, diagnose and treat visual disorders in children. These procedures include routine eye examinations, eyeglass prescription detection to determine refractive errors, amblyopia treatment (lazy eye), strabismus correction surgery, intervention for tear duct problems, cataract surgery and treatment of eye tumors such as retinoblastoma.
