Paediatric Ophthalmology in Singapore
Paediatric ophthalmology focuses on the diagnosis and management of eye conditions affecting infants, children, and adolescents. Vision plays a crucial role in a child’s physical, cognitive, and social development. Uncorrected vision problems may affect learning, coordination, behaviour, and long-term eye health.
Early detection and timely treatment are important, as some childhood eye conditions can lead to permanent vision loss if left untreated.
Paediatric ophthalmology is a subspecialty of ophthalmology dedicated to managing eye conditions in children. Unlike adults, children may not be able to recognise or communicate vision problems clearly. Specialised examination techniques are therefore required to assess visual development and detect early abnormalities.
This subspecialty also manages childhood strabismus (squint), amblyopia (lazy eye), congenital cataracts, and other developmental eye disorders.
Healthy vision supports learning, reading ability, hand-eye coordination, and social interaction. Undetected eye problems may result in:
Undetected vision problems may make it harder for a child to read, focus on classroom tasks, and follow lessons effectively.
Children may develop a range of eye conditions that affect visual development, eye alignment, or overall eye health. Early detection and appropriate management are important to support healthy vision as a child grows.
Let our experienced optometrists and paediatric eye specialists in Singapore perform a comprehensive eye screening to assess whether your child has myopia, squint (strabismus), or other paediatric eye conditions, and determine the severity for appropriate treatment.
Myopia and squint (strabismus) are best treated early in childhood. Early intervention allows us to slow the progression of myopia using clinically proven myopia control treatments such as specialised eye drops and custom-designed lenses, and to manage squint with tailored treatment options based on your child’s condition.
With early intervention and customised visual aids, children can achieve clearer vision and improved quality of life. Our paediatric eye specialists will closely monitor your child’s visual development and adjust treatment as needed to support long-term eye health.
