Children’s eyes are still developing, and early checks help catch problems that are easy to miss. At Balaji Horizon Eye Hospital, Ahmedabad, we offer calm, child-friendly eye care for infants, children and teenagers.
Common children’s eye concerns
- Refractive errors needing glasses
- Squint (strabismus) — eyes not aligned
- Lazy eye (amblyopia)
- Watering, infections or recurrent redness
- Difficulty seeing the board at school
When should my child have an eye check?
A first check is helpful in early childhood, and again before starting school. Any squint, frequent rubbing, head-tilt or sitting close to screens deserves a timely assessment.
How we examine children
We use gentle, age-appropriate methods including refraction and a careful eye examination. The aim is an accurate result with a calm, reassuring experience.
Treatment
Treatment is individualised — glasses, patching for lazy eye, or squint correction when it is genuinely needed. We explain everything clearly to parents.
Frequently asked questions
Is squint surgery always needed?
No. Many squints are managed with glasses or exercises; surgery is considered only in selected cases.
Will my child need glasses forever?
It depends on the cause. Some children outgrow the need; others benefit long-term. We review regularly.
