What does a Paediatric ophthalmologist do?
A paediatric ophthalmologist is a specialized eye doctor who diagnoses and treats eye problems in children. They are trained to handle a wide range of eye conditions, including lazy eye, crossed eyes, and vision problems that may result from other health conditions. A paediatric ophthalmologist may use different diagnostic tools and techniques to examine a child’s eyes, such as visual acuity tests, retinoscopy, and eye movement testing.
