Ask on WhatsApp about assessing your child’s condition with Dr. Ahmed Sweilam
Dr. Ahmed Sweilam helps assess several conditions related to pediatric ophthalmology and strabismus, and the doctor determines the suitable plan after examination.
Strabismus may appear clearly or intermittently, and parents may notice it when the child looks straight ahead, when tired, or during concentration. Medical examination helps assess eye alignment and determine the suitable next step according to the child’s age and condition.
Lazy eye needs early assessment and regular follow-up because the child may not be able to describe vision weakness clearly. After examination, the doctor determines whether the case needs eyeglasses, eye patching, or treatment follow-up according to the child’s age and the degree of the condition.
A child may need an eye examination when parents notice sitting too close to screens, frequent eye rubbing, repeated headaches, reading difficulty, or complaints of blurred vision. The examination helps assess vision and determine whether eyeglasses or follow-up are needed.
Some children need specialist assessment of eye movement, especially when there is head tilting, double vision in older children, or noticeable inconsistency in eye movement.
Not all strabismus cases require surgical intervention. After examination, the doctor determines whether the case needs follow-up, eyeglasses, conservative treatment, or surgical assessment depending on the type of strabismus, the child’s age, and the child’s vision condition.
Medical note: The suitable treatment cannot be determined based on symptoms alone. The doctor determines the plan after examination and medical assessment.
