Your child’s vision is the foundation of their future. Let us help you protect and strengthen it with early screening, expert care, and personalized therapies. At our dedicated child eye clinic, we believe every child deserves the best start in life. We have a definite role in your child’s journey by enabling them with a healthy, clear vision. Our Pediatric Refractive Screening unit is intended to identify and treat refractive errors and visual developmental problems at the earliest stage of child vision development. With such a mandate, we contribute to your child’s healthy vision, enabling him to unleash his full academic and cognitive growth potential.
Our Child Eye Clinic covers the following six most common pediatric vision disorders:
- Pediatric Refraction—Comprehensive Analysis.
- Binocular vision testing for developmental vision disorders.
- Carpophore exercises for the treatment of muscle weakness.
- Vision therapy for enhanced learning.
- Specialized glasses & medicines to reduce the progression of numbers.
- Digital Strain Management Techniques.
1. Paediatric Refraction Screening – What happens here?
A senior optometrist specializing in diagnosing children’s vision problems is usually one of our experts who do a complete refraction assessment for kids’ eyes. Children often can’t clearly explain their vision problems during tests, so we use age-appropriate tools, cycloplegic drops, retinoscopy, and interactive methods to get the right prescription for the child. If you get near-sightedness, farsightedness, or astigmatism checked out early, you can avoid vision fatigue, poor reading skills, and even amblyopia (lazy eye).
2. Binocular Vision Testing for Developmental Disorders
Proper binocular vision is essential for a child’s vision, depth perception, eye coordination, and classroom performance. Some kids find it difficult to read, focus, and coordinate their movements, and have binocular vision problems. Upon testing, we detect this binocular vision disorder after analyzing their eye teaming, alignment, and convergence skills. These are crucial for finding conditions like strabismus, convergence weakness, and accommodative dysfunction. If these seemingly small and simple issues are caught early, they can be fixed well with vision training or prism glasses. In the long run, this can make a substantial difference in the quality of vision.
3. Carpophore Exercises for Ocular Muscle Strengthening
Some children have weak extraocular muscles, making maintaining stable focus or eye alignment difficult. Our Child Eye Clinic offers carpophore exercises—a structured set of eye muscle movements designed to strengthen ocular muscles and enhance coordination. Our pediatric optometrists customize and guide these exercises, which can significantly improve visual comfort and endurance.
4. Vision Therapy for Enhanced Learning
Our clinic provides vision therapy programs for children with learning-related vision problems—personalized, one-on-one training sessions that improve visual skills beyond clarity. These include tracking, focusing, eye-hand coordination, and visual processing. Our evidence-based approach helps children who struggle with reading, writing, and attention, enabling them to perform better in school and beyond.
5. Specialised Glasses & Medicines to Control Myopia Progression
Myopia (shortsightedness) is becoming more common in kids because they spend more time in front of screens and have an indoor lifestyle. To stop refractive errors from getting worse, we offer specialized treatments like atropine eye drops, orthokeratology lenses, and myopia-control glasses. Scientific evidence proves these solutions will help protect your child’s eyesight as they grow. They are safe and easy for kids to use.
6. Digital Eye Strain Management in Children
Excessive screen use—whether from online classes, mobile games, or television—can lead to digital eye strain in children. Symptoms include dry eyes, blurry vision, headaches, and reduced attention span. Our team provides digital strain management strategies, including 20-20-20 rule training, anti-fatigue lenses, blue light filters, and proper screen ergonomics to protect young eyes in the digital age.
