It is important to remember that timely treatment and regular preventive examinations of a child by a pediatric ophthalmologist prevent such formidable complications of eye diseases as:
- Inflammation of the transparent membrane of the eye - the cornea (keratitis)
- Retinal dystrophies due to progressive myopia
- Persistent strabismus due to not being prescribed glasses
- And many other problems.
Our clinic employs ophthalmologists of the highest category, candidates of medical sciences, specialists with extensive experience and with the children's eye apparatus and understanding of its developmental features. An adult ophthalmologist can also perform an examination, but the lack of sufficient experience with the child's body can lead to some errors in the diagnosis and treatment.
We treat destruction of the vitreous body, retinal detachment, vascular pathology, chronic dacryocystitis, farsightedness (hypermetropia) and other diseases of the eye, retina, visual pathology of various etiologies.
Methods for treating children's vision problems
We use modern diagnostic examinations and treatment methods that demonstrate their high accuracy and efficiency. In our clinic, you can undergo such examinations as ultrasound of the eye, MRI, X-ray, tonometry, optical coherence tomography (OCT), keratotopography, ophthalmoscopy (examination of the fundus), optical examination of the retina, autorefractometry, biopsy, visual acuity testing, assessment of binocular vision, etc. We treat amblyopia, myopia, hypermetropia, astigmatism, retinal pathologies and other visual impairments.
Methods of treating children's vision pathologies, disorders of its development:
- Gymnastics for the eyes.
- Interval hypoxic therapy.
- Laser Pleoptics
- Reflexology.
- Macular stimulation.
- Infrasonic phonophoresis.
- Irrigation therapy.
- Electrophoresis, electrical stimulation, electropuncture.
- Magnetic massage
- Surgical treatment.
- Pleopto-orthoptic treatment.
- Other drug therapies
For the treatment of myopia in the early stages in childhood, reflexology, electrical stimulation, electrophoresis and some other non-surgical procedures are used. With progressive myopia - collagenoplasty (low-traumatic surgery), laser correction.
Strabismus is treated comprehensively, using therapeutic methods (glasses, lenses, a course of special exercises), surgical (if necessary, surgery is performed on the muscles of the eye) and restorative.
Surgical treatment of vision is indicated for cataracts. For cataract surgery, a special device is used, which provides a high quality result.
For the treatment of congenital glaucoma, an operation is performed that stabilizes the condition.
For pathologies of the posterior segment of the eye, laser coagulation and extrascleral filling are used.
Eye treatment and vision correction operations can be performed under anesthesia and under the supervision of a highly qualified anesthetist. In treatment, we apply comprehensive measures to combat each disease.
An ophthalmologist can also be called to your home at any convenient time. Pediatric emergency ophthalmology works. The duty pediatric ophthalmologist will see you for any question.
When should you see an ophthalmologist?
It is difficult to list all the possible causes, symptoms and signs about which you should be alert and schedule a visit to the optometrist. Or, on the contrary, our ophthalmologists will help you dispel doubts and confirm that your child has no problems with the organ of vision at the time of the examination.
The treatment of vision by our ophthalmologists is prescribed according to modern standards, taking into account the individual characteristics of the child, the course of the disease and age:
- Newborn babies. At this age, it is possible to determine the development of diseases such as inflammation, conjunctivitis, cataracts, and begin treatment. If the baby is premature, in this case, the risk of retinopathy is high (symptoms appear somewhere after the fourth week of life). It is advisable to visit an ophthalmologist every 2-3 months during the first year of life.
- Preschool age. From the age of three, visual acuity, binocular vision, optical power and the presence / absence of farsightedness are determined. Mandatory visits to an ophthalmologist - at a year and then at three years.
- Children of school age. Such pathologies of vision as strabismus, astigmatism, myopia, refraction and accommodation disorders are detected. Successfully treated these pathologies. Be sure to visit an ophthalmologist before school, and then, due to the increased strain on the eyes during study, you need to come to the ophthalmologist every year.
Each age has its own characteristics of development, and the detection of certain pathologies of vision and eye diseases in children is not yet a final and lifelong diagnosis and does not always require treatment (or at least some radical methods of treatment). The eye grows, the visual apparatus changes, and the specialist must be aware of the normal developmental deviations in each period of the child's growing up. But you need to undergo an examination regularly in order to identify diseases and other important visual deviations from the norm in time. This will allow you to take timely measures and start treatment until the pathology or defect worsens.
In the ophthalmology department of our clinic, your child will be examined by an ophthalmologist of the highest category, who is familiar with all the features of children's vision, the development and structure of the eye and its adnexa. Parents can be sure of the accuracy of the diagnosis and the effectiveness of the prescribed treatment. We carry out examinations and apply methods of treatment that are suitable for the fragile body of the child.
What diseases of the organ of vision do we treat?
Correction with glasses (including the appointment of special spectacle lenses to prevent the progression of myopia). If necessary, the appointment of contact lenses.
Correction with "night" lenses (ortholenses) - when, with regular wear at night, a child does not need glasses or lenses during the day and sees perfectly. At the same time, parents can be calm that myopia (myopia) is under control! We use Moonlens ortholenses, the only "night lenses" certified by the FDA (Food and Drug Administration, USA).
We provide hardware treatment of myopia and accommodation disorders on the devices "Visotronic M-3", "MAKDEL-09" and pneumomassage ("AVMO-01"). This type of treatment is extremely important to improve the work of a special muscle of the eye - accommodative (ciliary) to reduce the further progression of myopia. For example, the simulator "Visotronic M3", shown in the figure, has a complex effect: it increases the efficiency of the eye muscles, improves local blood circulation. At the same time, it is very comfortable for a small patient to use, and children attend treatment classes with pleasure.
Treatment and diagnosis of amblyopia and strabismus by prescribing optical correction, occlusion (sticking) and hardware treatment using Sinoptofor, Speckl-M, Forbis, ESOM devices and computer pleoptics.
Our clinic presents the most modern Japanese synoptophore MT364 (TAKAGI), which has the maximum number of functions for diagnosing and treating strabismus. Thanks to the bright colorful slides, children easily understand the tasks and pass all the tests with enthusiasm.
Treatment and observation of babies with congenital obstruction of the lacrimal ducts - when, due to a deterioration in the outflow of tears, lacrimation appears and the eye of the baby turns red
Treatment of inflammatory diseases of the eye (conjunctivitis, chalazion, barley and others)
It is important to remember that timely treatment and regular preventive examinations of a child by a pediatric ophthalmologist prevent such formidable complications of eye diseases as:
- Inflammation of the transparent membrane of the eye - the cornea (keratitis)
- Retinal dystrophies due to progressive myopia
- Persistent strabismus due to not being prescribed glasses

Appointment to the doctor
- Conjunctivitis
- Inflammatory diseases of the eyelids: blepharitis, chalazion, barley, meibomitis
- Myopia
- Hyperopia
- Squint
- Astigmatism
- Amblyopia
- Congenital cataract, glaucoma
- Eye injury
In the absence of complaints, it is recommended to check visual acuity, examine the fundus for preventive purposes annually, as well as before kindergarten, school, college, institute.
It is necessary to visit the children's eye protection room outside of scheduled examinations in the following cases:
- There are complaints about a decrease in visual acuity, the child does not clearly see objects, their contours are blurred
- Pain or itching in the eyes, tearing, redness, swelling of the eyelids, crusts form on the eyelashes and eyelids
- There is a hereditary or diagnosed risk of transmission of myopia, hyperopia, astigmatism from parents
- There is a feeling of pressure on the eyes, headaches against this background
- There is strabismus or nystagmus (spontaneous movements of the eyeballs from side to side or from top to bottom)
Inspection involves a visual assessment of the eyes and adnexa:
- The size and symmetry of the pupils, their reaction to light
- Sclera color
- Severity of the vascular pattern
- Presence and type of highlights
- Condition of the eyelids: swelling, redness, rashes, formations
Easily and with elements of the game, the doctors of the K + 31 clinic conduct the necessary instrumental examination. For it are used:
- Sivtsev's table is 12 lines with black letters, the size of which decreases from top to bottom, on a backlit white screen. For children who do not yet know letters, images of animals, toys, plants or open rings. To assess visual acuity, an ophthalmologist points to letters or drawings and asks to name them. First, the child looks with one eye, then the second, and finally with both eyes at once.
- Slit lamp or flashlight - allows you to assess the condition of the fundus, examine the exit point of the optic nerve
- Autorefractometer - a device for a thorough examination of the entire eye, both outside and inside, as well as for measuring pupil size, refraction, what you need to prescribe glasses
- Computer tonometer - for non-contact measurement of eye pressure using air flow. Investigation is important if glaucoma is suspected
This is the bare minimum for a diagnosis. These manipulations do not cause pain. The doctor will prescribe additional examinations, if necessary, based on a specific case.
Take a visit with your child to our clinic K+31, where experienced specialists work in the eye protection room. They will identify the pathology at the earliest stage and prescribe treatment. Doctors will help organize the daily routine, give advice on the prevention of eye diseases.
In our clinic for small patients, various areas of medicine work: pediatrics, surgery (plastic surgery, cardiovascular surgery, etc.), ophthalmology department, gastroenterology, traumatology, urology, etc. We have any specialist (and specialties) you may need: family doctor, ophthalmologist, pediatric orthopedist, psychotherapist, neurosurgeon, ophthalmic surgeon, oncologist, etc.
