When to See a Pediatric Ophthalmologist

Regular Eye Exams

Scheduling routine eye exams for children is crucial, even if there are no apparent issues. Early exams ensure that any underlying visual problems can be caught and treated promptly.

Common Signs to Watch For

Parents should watch for signs that may indicate vision or eye health issues in children, such as:

  • Squinting
  • Frequent eye rubbing
  • Difficulty focusing

When to See a Pediatric Ophthalmologist

Neuro-Ophthalmology is a field of medicine that addresses visual problems related to diseases of the brain rather than diseases of the eyes themselves. Neuro-ophthalmic disorders can threaten vision and, in some cases, may even be life-threatening.

A neuro-ophthalmology exam helps diagnose causes of various visual symptoms, including:

  • Abnormal eye movements (nystagmus)
  • Double vision (diplopia)
  • Eyelid abnormalities, such as a drooping eyelid (ptosis)
  • Visual disturbances, such as flashes of light (photopsia)
  • Forced eye closure (blepharospasm)
  • Unequal pupil size (anisocoria)
  • Vision loss

We provide comprehensive, advanced diagnostic testing in Pediatric Ophthalmology and neuro-ophthalmology, including visual acuity measurements, pupil reactivity, color vision, side vision, and ocular alignment assessments. Additionally, computerized visual field testing and optical coherence tomography (OCT) allow us to view and measure the retina and optic nerve.

Treatment Options Include:

  • Medical therapies
  • Botulinum toxin injections for muscle spasms in conditions like hemifacial spasms
  • Visual disturbances, such as flashes of light (photopsia)
  • Surgical treatments, such as eye muscle surgery for straight eye alignment

Botox Aesthetic Eye

Botox is a trade name for botulinum toxin, a neurotoxin protein used in cosmetic medicine. In Pediatric Ophthalmology and other specialized treatments, botulinum toxin can help address moderate to severe eyebrow furrows, uncontrolled blinking, lazy eye, wrinkles, and facial creases.

This non-surgical procedure works by separating nerve impulses from muscle actions, which reduces muscle contractions in the treated area and diminishes wrinkles. Beyond cosmetic uses, botox allows individuals to age gracefully and look their best.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) about Pediatric Ophthalmology

Lazy eye occurs when one eye has reduced vision due to improper development. It can often be treated with glasses, eye patches, or vision therapy, especially if detected early.
