Pediatric eye diseases treated include:
- Errors and defects of the refractive eye:
Errors and defects of the refractive eye:(need for glasses): Refractive defects are a common cause of decreased vision in children. Common patterns of refractive defects include eye defects, such as nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism. - Progressive myopia:
When myopia develops in preschoolers and school-age children, in rare cases the condition can worsen more seriously, increasing the likelihood of complications that may lead to blindness later. Our myopia clinic can prescribe some therapeutic medical and visual methods aimed at reducing the incidence of progressive myopia. - Amblyopia (lazy eye):
It is a defect in the communication between the brain and the eye, which occurs when a child has a noticeable impairment in vision. If not treated in childhood, it may lead to permanent visual impairment or impairment. - Eye redness:
Eye redness in children can be triggered by several different factors, including allergies or infections. - Tears or discharge from the eye:
This may be caused by an eye disease or blocked tear duct. - Ptosis:
where it can occur in one eye or in both eyes. - Strabismus:
It can be referred to as “eye deviation,” and it arises for many reasons, including an imbalance in neuromuscular coordination of eye movement. - Nystagmus (shaking of the eye):
It is an involuntary movement that can lead to poor vision and lack of accurate awareness of how far objects are from the eye. - Abnormal head position (head rotation):
Children may use an abnormal head position to compensate for eye defects, such as refractive defects, eye muscle imbalance, strabismus, nystagmus. - Cataract:
The presence of clouding in the lens of the eye, which leads to a decrease in the level of vision. - Glaucoma:
Glaucoma arises when there is a rise in intraocular pressure. This pressure causes damage to the optic nerve and can lead to vision loss. - Retinal atrophy is a term
given to a group of progressive diseases of the retina (the tissue that lines the back of the eye ball). - Malformations and birth defects:
A variety of malformations and birth defects can occur to the tissues that make up the eye.
Treatment
We provide treatment that meets the individual needs of each child according to their findings and diagnosis. Treatment involves one or more of the following options:
-
Eye cover
-
Spectacles
-
Eye drops
-
Surgery
Diagnosis
The first-in-class technology suite provides better detection and effective results for the health of your vision.
A comprehensive eye examination helps to make a clear and accurate diagnosis of the disease. First, the patient undergoes a pediatric vision correction consultant at Ibsar Center (a consultant who diagnoses and treats eye movement disorders). The consultant pediatric ophthalmologist then performs a medical examination and dilates the pupil. A thorough initial examination takes about two hours.

What is our philosophy about medical care?
Our hospital was founded on a better model of care – one designed around patients’ needs that provides a higher level of quality and service affordably. We do this through innovative design, excellent customer service, and the efficient use of technology.
Our entire team believes in building trust-based partnerships with our patients. Rather than simply writing a prescription and sending you on your way, your primary care provider (PCP) will collaborate with you as your long-term health care advocate, help you manage your health issues and navigate complex decisions, and empower you with the knowledge and guidance you need to make positive changes. We use diagnostic tests appropriately, wary of the risk of overdiagnosis, and strive to ensure that follow-up plans are clearly understood.
Moreover, we’re focused on caring for you in a holistic manner – taking all aspects of your health and lifestyle into consideration. To help you restore and maintain optimal health, we’ve made some specialty services available to you on-site at select locations. As we grow, we’ll continue to add more services to make our care as comprehensive and effective as possible.
Your PCP at One Medical is your first point of contact for your health care needs, bringing you the peace of mind that comes from having a trusted advisor in your corner. But should you ever require a specialty consultation or hospitalization, we’ll help you make the best possible choice, and we’ll ensure a well-coordinated referral.
What Happens if i need to go to a hospital?
One Medical works with nearly all of the hospitals in the area, allowing you to go to the hospital of your choice, and we can help coordinate care as needed. If you see one of our providers and need to see a specialist for a follow up at a hospital, we can provide the referral and help coordinate the logistics. If you end up at a hospital for another reason, we can help you have all your medical records transferred , so your provider will be able to review your stay and test results and help with any needed follow up.
