What is Pediatric Ophthalmology?
Pediatric ophthalmology is a branch of medicine that focuses on diagnosing, treating, and managing eye conditions and vision problems in children. Unlike adults, children’s eyes are still developing, which means eye issues can affect their growth, learning, and overall quality of life. Early diagnosis and treatment are essential in preventing long-term vision impairment or other complications.

Common Eye Conditions in Children
Several eye conditions are common in children, and early detection is key to preventing more serious complications. Some of the most common pediatric eye conditions treated at Quironsalud Hospital Dubai include:
- Strabismus (Crossed Eyes): Strabismus is a condition where the eyes do not align properly, causing one or both eyes to turn in, out, up, or down. This misalignment can affect depth perception and may lead to amblyopia (lazy eye) if left untreated.
- Amblyopia (Lazy Eye): Amblyopia occurs when one eye has reduced vision, typically due to strabismus or refractive errors that are not corrected. If not treated early, amblyopia can lead to permanent vision loss in the affected eye.
- Refractive Errors (Nearsightedness, Farsightedness, Astigmatism): Refractive errors occur when the shape of the eye prevents light from focusing directly on the retina, leading to blurry vision. These errors include:
- Nearsightedness (Myopia): Difficulty seeing distant objects clearly.
- Farsightedness (Hyperopia): Difficulty seeing nearby objects clearly.
- Farsightedness (Hyperopia): Difficulty seeing nearby objects clearly.
- Congenital Cataracts: Some babies are born with cataracts, which cause cloudy vision and can impair visual development. Early treatment is critical to prevent long-term vision issues.
- Retinopathy of Prematurity (ROP): ROP is a condition that affects premature infants, where abnormal blood vessels grow in the retina. It can lead to vision impairment or blindness if not detected and treated early.
- Blocked Tear Ducts: A blocked tear duct can cause watery eyes and may lead to infections. This condition is common in newborns and usually resolves on its own, but in some cases, medical intervention is necessary.

Pediatric Ophthalmology Treatment Options
Depending on your child’s specific condition, a variety of treatment options may be recommended, including:
- Prescription Glasses or Contact Lenses: For children with refractive errors like nearsightedness, farsightedness, or astigmatism, prescription glasses or contact lenses can help improve vision. Our team will guide you in selecting the best eyewear option for your child’s comfort and lifestyle.
- Vision Therapy: Vision therapy involves a series of eye exercises designed to improve eye coordination, focusing, and alignment. It is commonly used to treat conditions like strabismus or amblyopia, and it can be effective in improving your child’s visual development.
- Surgical Treatment: In some cases, surgery may be necessary to correct certain eye conditions. For example, strabismus surgery can realign the eyes, while cataract surgery can remove cloudy lenses and restore clear vision. Our pediatric ophthalmologists use the latest techniques to ensure safe and successful outcomes.
- Laser Treatment: Laser treatments, such as laser therapy for retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) or laser surgery for refractive errors, may be recommended depending on your child’s condition. These treatments are minimally invasive and highly effective in managing various eye diseases.
The Importance of Early Eye Exams
Regular eye exams are crucial for early detection and treatment of eye conditions in children. The American Academy of Ophthalmology recommends that children have their first eye exam at 6 months of age, followed by additional exams at 3 years and before entering school (around age 5 or 6). Early detection and treatment of vision problems can prevent more severe issues and ensure optimal visual development.

I had my shoulder arthroscopy at this institute, and it went very well. The rehab process for the surgery was administered by Saad. Saad was very helpful and transparent throughout the rehabilitation, from dedicated sessions to regaining full range of motion to strengthening the shoulder back to normal. Highly recommend the institute (Dr. Ghassan especially) and Saad as well for the rehab!
