Pediatric Ophthalmology and Strabismus

Pediatric Ophthalmology and Strabismus is the specialty that deals with eye diseases in children and misalignment of the eyes in adults and children. Kids eyes are not just small eyes, the diseases that may affect our children's eyes are different than those of adults in their diagnosis and management. Early intervention using special diagnostic and treatment techniques is usually needed to salvage vision. Strabismus, misalignment of the eyes, is very common in children, but can also affect adults. Strabismus specialists can diagnose and treat this condition in all age groups. In this section of our website at LAUMC-RH, we will highlight common pediatric eye diseases and strabismus conditions, hoping to clarify the importance of early diagnosis and treatment.
