We at National Medical Centre welcome you to
the Department of Ophthalmology (Eye). Our pediatric eye
specialists care for children with a full range of eye and vision problems, as
well as certain problems related to eye movements in adults. Strabismus (eye
misalignment or abnormal eye movements), amblyopia (lazy eye), and poor visual
function are common reasons for children to come to the pediatric ophthalmology
clinic at Children's Hospital.
We also treat children with more uncommon eye conditions such
as cataracts, glaucoma, retinopathy of prematurity, droopy eyelids and tearing
problems. The Division of Ophthalmology offers special testing not routinely
available for children elsewhere, including vision testing for preverbal
children, orthoptic evaluation and treatment, adult and pediatric visual field
testing, electroretinography (awake or with sedation), visual evoked responses
and ultrasonography. We offer a full range of diagnostic testing for children
with retinal degenerations, inherited retinal disorders and genetic syndromes
associated with retinal degeneration. Full service pediatric and adult contact
lens care is provided within the clinic.
Subspecialty clinics within the division include Craniofacial
Clinic, Optometry Clinic, Ophthalmic Genetics Clinic, Neuro-ophthalmology
Clinic, Oculoplastics and Tearing Disorders Clinic, and Pediatric Retina Clinic.
Adult patients with strabismus, double vision and other eye movement problems
are also treated by NMC's Hospital ophthalmologists.
Our reputation as one of the leading pediatric ophthalmology
centre in Pakistan attracts families from across the country and around the
world. Our physicians have published books and journal articles on many topics
related to pediatric ophthalmology including pediatric eyelid surgery,
strabismus, pediatric cataracts, glaucoma and optic nerve disorders. In addition
to patient care, our doctors are involved in research including studies on
retinopathy of prematurity, strabismus, cataracts, eye growth, myopia,
amblyopia, and many other related areas.
We care for patients at the National Medical
Centre, located in 37 Civic Centre M Block Modle Town Ext. Lahore -
54700 Pakistan.
Our greatest interest is in providing the best possible care
for your child's eye or vision problem.
