Paediatric ophthalmology
Paediatric ophthalmology
Paediatric ophthalmologists diagnose and treat common eye problems in children, such as strabismus, near vision disorders, congenital cataracts and problems with visual development. They can also help diagnose and treat rarer conditions, such as genetic eye diseases.
It is important for children to have regular eye examinations to ensure that their vision develops healthily and to detect any problems early.
Our ophthalmologists see your children
Your child's cooperation is necessary for the examination to proceed properly, including participation in reading, orthoptic tests and examination of the eye. Please note that we do not have portable eye measurement equipment and your child must be able to position themselves at our devices.
- From age 5
- By telephone arrangement in some cases from age 3
- A a second consultation may be necessary pour la réalisation d'un examen sous cycloplégie (gouttes dilatant les pupilles)

Good to know
- Screening for children's visual problems is important from the early years: reduced vision in one eye may cause no complaint.
- Warning signs: strabismus, squinting, moving closer to screens or the board, headaches, delayed reading.
- Myopia progresses mainly between ages 6 and 16: daylight, breaks from near work and regular monitoring.
