Why children's eye care matters
Up to 80% of a child's early learning happens through their eyes. Many eye problems in children — like a squint (bhengapan) or a "lazy eye" — can be fully corrected if caught early, but become much harder to treat after the age of 7–8. Because young children rarely complain, regular checks are the only way to catch problems in time.
A vision problem caught at 5 can be corrected for life. The same problem found at 12 may never be fully fixed. Early checks change a child's future.
Conditions we treat in children
- Squint (strabismus / bhengapan) — misaligned eyes, corrected with glasses, exercises or surgery
- Lazy eye (amblyopia) — reduced vision in one eye, treatable when caught young
- Refractive errors — short-sight, long-sight and astigmatism, corrected with glasses
- Watering, infections & blocked tear ducts
- School screening & vision certificates
Signs your child may need an eye check
- Sitting too close to the TV or holding books very near
- Squinting, tilting the head, or rubbing eyes often
- One eye that turns in or out
- Trouble seeing the blackboard, or falling grades
- Frequent headaches or watering eyes
