Pediatric ophthalmologist in Dnipro

At the Helios Center, pediatric ophthalmologist consultations include:

• Comprehensive eye examination: checking visual acuity, refraction, and eye muscle coordination.
• Diagnosis of eye diseases: identifying diseases such as conjunctivitis, cataracts, glaucoma, and others.
• Prevention: recommendations for maintaining eye health, proper eye strain, and vision correction with glasses or contact lenses.
• The doctor takes into account the age-related characteristics of the child's development and works closely with parents to ensure optimal care and eye health for your child.

When to see a pediatric ophthalmologist

A pediatric ophthalmologist should be consulted in the following cases:

• Vision impairment: the child complains of blurred vision, frequent headaches, or difficulty focusing.
• Strabismus: if one eye deviates to the side, or there is a suspicion of strabismus.
• Uneven pupil size: if one pupil is significantly different in size from the other.
• Restless behavior: if the child often shakes his eyes, wrinkles his forehead, or closes one eye in bright light.
• Impaired coordination of movements: when the child has problems with orientation or interaction with the environment.
• Suspected amblyopia (lazy vision): if the child does not recognize small details at close range or cannot distinguish objects at a distance.
• Frequent conjunctivitis or other eye diseases: constant inflammation, redness, discharge from the eyes.

The earlier vision problems are detected, the easier they are to correct, so it is important to regularly check the vision of children.
