OUR APPROACH

The Pediatric Eye Clinic at Vision Eye Hospital was started with the aim of providing the best quality of eye care to children as we consider this as our medical and social responsibility. Over the last 20 years, more than 3000 children with cataracts, glaucoma as well as other disorders have been successfully treated and visually rehabilitated. The clinic has a team comprising of specialist ophthalmologists, experienced surgeons, anesthesiologists, and pediatric coordinators. We have a dedicated, state of the art operating room for pediatric eye surgery equipped with the latest surgical equipment. More importantly, the entire team is always prepared to provide technical support and guidance to the children and their families so that the child gets a lifetime of useful vision.

We often provide services to needy patients at our own expense as a consequence of our moral and social passion.

Over the years, because of our expertise in the field, we have grown to be a tertiary referral Centre for pediatric eye disorders for children all over India and in neighboring countries.

OUR PROCESS

For pediatric eye care, the diagnosis is a tricky aspect as kids don’t allow evaluation of the eye. Therefore, to find out the extent of the problem we conduct an examination under anesthesia. We also test the mother and siblings to determine whether it is a genetic disability. Once the problem is identified, the children’s parents are counseled about the extra care and follow up care required. After this, the child undergoes a surgery which is followed by regular follow up sessions to monitor the improvement in the eye.

OUR SKILLS & TALENTS

proud to have a dedicated and skilled team of ophthalmologists, anesthesiologists, vision therapists, optometrists and pediatric coordinators whose sole focus is to help these children at every stage of recovery. Our doctors have been conducting instruction courses and taking lectures at national and international forums for the same.
