Paediatric ophthalmologist

A pediatric ophthalmologist is a doctor who specializes in diagnosing and treating eye diseases in children. He or she performs eye examinations and identifies possible problems, including nearsightedness, farsightedness, astigmatism, strabismus, etc. An ophthalmologist also monitors a child’s vision development from birth to adolescence. If pathologies are detected, the doctor develops an individual treatment plan to ensure the normal development of the child’s vision. Timely consultation with a pediatric ophthalmologist at the Oxford Medical clinic will help identify and prevent serious vision problems.

Preparing for a visit to a pediatric ophthalmologist begins with a proper conversation with your child. Explain to them that the doctor wants to take care of their vision and check how well they see. Avoid focusing on possible problems. To help your child feel more relaxed during the actual examination, try to “play doctor” at home.

It is best to make an appointment with a pediatric ophthalmologist at a time when your child is not in a stressful situation and is in a good mood.

At the Oxford Medical clinic, pediatric ophthalmologists have extensive experience working with young patients, so the ophthalmologist’s examination is easy and comfortable for the child.

Symptoms of eye diseases and vision impairment can signal serious problems in the child's body, so timely diagnosis helps to detect diseases in the early stages.

The first examination by a pediatric ophthalmologist is carried out at 1 year, then at 3 years, before school (6–7 years) and annually. In the case of chronic pathologies, regular monitoring is important. The ophthalmologist may also refer to other specialists for a comprehensive examination.
