Pediatrics
The eye of a child is different from that of an adult because it is still immature and developing. Good vision is dependent on the proper development of the eye and with good connections between the eye and the brain. Therefore, any condition affecting the child’s vision must be treated at the earliest. This is the most important reason why pediatric ophthalmology has emerged as a separate subspeciality. The team of pediatric ophthalmologists at National Eye Care Hospital is dedicated towards providing the best eye care for children.
