Specialized Eye Care for Children at Kapoor Eye Hospital
A child’s vision is precious — it plays a vital role in learning, development, and overall quality of life. At Kapoor Eye Hospital, we understand that children’s eyes are not just smaller versions of adult eyes — they require specialized expertise, gentle handling, and advanced technology.
Our Pediatric Ophthalmology Department is led by highly trained specialists who provide comprehensive diagnosis and management of all childhood eye disorders, from newborn screening to advanced corrective surgeries.
With AIIMS-trained retina experts and modern diagnostic equipment, we ensure early detection and timely treatment to protect your child’s vision for life.
Timely Screening Saves Sight
Retinopathy of Prematurity (ROP) is a serious eye condition that can affect premature or low-birth-weight infants. It occurs when abnormal blood vessels grow in the retina, which can lead to scarring and irreversible blindness if not treated promptly.
At Kapoor Eye Hospital, ROP care is handled by an AIIMS-trained Retina Specialist, offering the highest level of expertise for your baby’s delicate eyes.
Our ROP Services include:
Timely screening of all premature babies (especially those born before 34 weeks or under 2 kg).
Laser treatment or intravitreal therapy when needed, to stop disease progression.
Regular follow-upsto monitor retinal development and prevent long-term complications.
Early detection and timely laser intervention can completely prevent blindness due to ROP. If your baby was born premature, schedule an ROP screening at Kapoor Eye Hospital within 3–4 weeks of birth.
Squint, or strabismus, occurs when the eyes are misaligned and do not point in the same direction. One eye may turn inward, outward, upward, or downward, leading to double vision, poor depth perception, and even lazy eye (amblyopia) if left untreated.
Causes include:
Congenital (present at birth) muscle imbalance
Uncorrected refractive error
Eye muscle paralysis
Neurological or developmental issues
Treatment options at Kapoor Eye Hospital:
Comprehensive eye and orthoptic evaluation to determine the cause.
Glasses or prism therapyfor refractive causes.
Amblyopia therapy(patching or vision exercises) to strengthen the weaker eye.
Advanced squint surgeryperformed under anesthesia by trained pediatric ophthalmic surgeons using microsurgical techniques for natural, symmetrical eye alignment.
Our goal is not only cosmetic correction but also restoration of binocular (two-eye) vision for your child.
A congenital cataract is a lens opacity present at birth or developing in early childhood. If untreated, it can block light from reaching the retina, leading to permanent vision loss or lazy eye.
Symptoms parents should watch for:
White or grayish reflection in the pupil
Poor visual attention or lack of eye contact
Nystagmus (shaking of eyes)
Strabismus (squint)
At Kapoor Eye Hospital, congenital cataract surgery is performed using advanced microincision techniques with high-precision pediatric intraocular lenses (IOLs) when suitable.
Early diagnosis and timely surgery — ideally within the first few months of life — are crucial for achieving the best possible visual outcomes.
Amblyopia, commonly known as lazy eye, occurs when the brain starts ignoring input from one eye due to unequal visual development during childhood. It is one of the most common yet preventable causes of poor vision in children.
Common causes:
Uncorrected squint or refractive error
Congenital cataract
Vision imbalance between both eyes
Treatment options at Kapoor Eye Hospital:
Early vision screening to detect amblyopia in preschool years.
Prescription glasses or patching therapy to stimulate the weaker eye.
Computerized vision therapy programsfor effective and engaging rehabilitation.
When detected and treated early, amblyopia can be fully reversible, restoring equal vision in both eyes.
Myopia (nearsightedness) is rapidly increasing among children due to excessive screen time, lack of outdoor activities, and prolonged near work. If left unchecked, it can progress to high myopia, increasing the risk of serious eye diseases later in life.
At Kapoor Eye Hospital, we offer scientifically proven Myopia Control Programs, which include:
Special myopia-control glasses and contact lenses (like orthokeratology lenses)
Low-dose atropine therapy to slow myopia progression
Lifestyle counselingon balanced screen and outdoor time
Regular monitoring to track and manage changes in eye power
Early detection and timely laser intervention can completely prevent blindness due to ROP. If your baby was born premature, schedule an ROP screening at Kapoor Eye Hospital within 3–4 weeks of birth.
