Gentle, child-friendly eye care — screening and treatment for squint, amblyopia, congenital cataracts and refractive errors, from as young as 6 months.

Understanding Children's Eye Care

Because Children Rarely Complain About Blurry Vision

Children rarely tell you their vision is blurry — they simply assume everyone sees the way they do, since they have nothing to compare it to. This makes proactive screening essential for catching conditions like squint, amblyopia (lazy eye), congenital cataracts and refractive errors early, while a child's visual system is still developing and most responsive to treatment.

At Hazari Eye Hospital, our Paediatric Eye Care clinic is designed around one simple principle: make every visit comfortable, calm and reassuring for young patients, using age-appropriate testing methods and plenty of patience.

Whether it's a routine school-entry screening or a specific concern like a wandering eye, our team guides parents through diagnosis and treatment options in plain, honest language.

Common Questions

Paediatric Eye Care — FAQs

We recommend a basic screening around 6 months, another at age 3, and a comprehensive exam before school entry (around age 4-5). Earlier screening is advised if there's a family history of eye conditions.
Watch for squinting, sitting very close to the TV, holding books unusually close, one eye turning inward or outward, tilting the head to see, or complaints of headaches after reading or schoolwork.
No, though they're related. Squint (strabismus) is misalignment of the eyes, while amblyopia (lazy eye) is reduced vision in one eye because the brain favours the other. Squint can lead to amblyopia if untreated.
Not always. Many cases are managed with glasses, patching or eye exercises. Surgery is recommended when misalignment is significant or doesn't respond to non-surgical treatment.
Yes. Our paediatric consultations are designed to be gentle and child-friendly, using age-appropriate tests and a calm environment to keep children comfortable throughout.
