Eye Care for Children: LJEI’s Expert Pediatric Ophthalmology Services
A child’s vision is precious and plays a critical role in their development and learning. Ensuring healthy eyesight from an early age is paramount, and that requires specialized care. At LJ Eye Institute in Ambala, we understand the unique needs of young patients and are dedicated to providing expert pediatric ophthalmology services. We are recognized as a leading eye hospital for pediatric vision care, with a team of skilled pediatric ophthalmologists committed to protecting your child’s sight.
Why Pediatric Eye Care is Different
Children’s eyes are still developing, and they may not always be able to communicate vision problems effectively. Conditions that might be minor in adults can have a significant impact on a child’s visual development if not detected and treated early. Pediatric ophthalmologists have specialized training and experience to diagnose and manage eye conditions in children, using child-friendly techniques and equipment.
Comprehensive Pediatric Ophthalmology Services at LJ Eye Institute, Ambala
LJ Eye Institute, Ambala, offers a wide range of services specifically designed for children’s eye health:
- Routine Pediatric Eye Exams: Regular eye check-ups are crucial for detecting potential issues early. Our experts perform comprehensive exams to assess vision, check for refractive errors (like nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism), and evaluate the overall health of the eyes.
- Squint (Strabismus) Treatment: Squint, where the eyes do not align properly, is common in children. Our team specializes in the diagnosis and treatment of squint, offering both non-surgical and surgical options to improve eye alignment and prevent vision loss.
- Amblyopia (“Lazy Eye”) Management: Amblyopia occurs when one eye has weaker vision than the other. Early detection and treatment, often involving patching therapy or other vision exercises, are vital for improving vision in the weaker eye.
- Pediatric Cataract Diagnosis and Treatment: Although less common than in adults, children can develop cataracts. We provide expert diagnosis and surgical treatment for pediatric cataracts, followed by necessary visual rehabilitation.
- Management of Other Childhood Eye Conditions: Our pediatric ophthalmologists are equipped to diagnose and manage a variety of other eye conditions affecting children, including refractive errors, eye infections, and genetic eye diseases.
- Child-Friendly Approach: We understand that visiting the eye doctor can be daunting for children. Our team and clinic environment are designed to be child-friendly and welcoming, helping children feel more comfortable during their examination and treatment.

The Importance of Early Detection
Many childhood eye conditions, if caught and treated early, can be successfully managed or corrected, preventing long-term vision impairment. We encourage parents to be aware of potential signs of eye problems in their children, such as:
- Frequent eye rubbing or blinking
- Difficulty focusing
- Sensitivity to light
- Poor tracking of objects
- Head tilting or turning
- A white or grayish area in the pupil
- Eyes that appear misaligned
If you notice any of these signs, or simply want to ensure your child’s eyes are healthy, schedule an appointment with a pediatric ophthalmologist.
