Expert Pediatric Ophthalmology and Glaucoma Treatment with Dr. Urvish Vashist
Eye health plays a vital role in shaping both childhood development and long-term quality of life. When it comes to children, even small vision problems can affect learning, social growth, and confidence. Similarly, conditions like glaucoma, which can silently damage vision, require specialized expertise and lifelong care. At LJ Eye Institute, Ambala, patients place their trust in Dr. Urvish Vashist, a leading specialist in pediatric ophthalmology and glaucoma with more than two decades of dedicated experience.
Pediatric Ophthalmology – Giving Children the Best Start in Life
Children’s eyes are delicate and constantly developing. A timely eye examination can prevent lifelong vision problems. Dr. Vashist focuses on providing advanced pediatric eye care with a compassionate approach, ensuring children feel safe and comfortable during their visit.
He specializes in treating:
- Squint (Strabismus): Misaligned eyes that can cause double vision and poor depth perception.
- Amblyopia (Lazy Eye): Reduced vision in one eye that must be corrected early for the best results.
- Refractive Errors: Nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism, often requiring corrective lenses.
- Pediatric Glaucoma: A rare but serious disease that, if left untreated, can lead to permanent blindness.
By combining modern diagnostic tools with his gentle handling of children, Dr. Vashist ensures accurate treatment while creating a positive experience for young patients and their families.
