Conditions that Dr. Moustafa Salah Abdelhafez helps assess and treat

Dr. Moustafa Salah Abdelhafez helps assess and follow up several conditions related to pediatric ophthalmology and strabismus, and the doctor determines the suitable plan after examination.

Pediatric strabismus

Assessment of pediatric strabismus helps identify the degree of eye deviation, its effect on vision, and whether the case needs follow-up, eyeglasses, exercises, lazy eye treatment, or another intervention according to the doctor’s assessment after examination.

Adult strabismus

Dr. Moustafa Salah Abdelhafez follows up adult strabismus cases, including cases that may require surgical assessment or specialized follow-up to improve eye alignment according to the patient’s condition.

Amblyopia or lazy eye

Lazy eye is one of the conditions that needs early detection and follow-up in children. The doctor helps assess vision level, the cause of weakness, and the suitable follow-up or treatment plan according to the child’s age and examination results.

Pediatric cataract

Pediatric cataract may appear from birth or at later stages. Dr. Moustafa Salah Abdelhafez helps assess the condition, understand its impact on vision, and determine the need for follow-up or the suitable procedure after examination.

Intraocular lens implantation for children

In some pediatric cataract cases, the child may need a specialized assessment to know whether intraocular lens implantation is suitable. The decision is determined based on examination, the child’s age, and the eye condition.

Congenital nasolacrimal duct obstruction

Congenital tear duct obstruction may appear as repeated tearing or discharge in the child. The doctor helps assess the condition and determine the suitable follow-up or procedure according to the child’s age and symptom severity.

Children’s vision examination

Children’s vision examination is important when a child sits very close to screens, complains of headaches while studying, shows poor visual attention, closes one eye, or has a noticed eye deviation. The examination helps determine whether the child needs eyeglasses or further assessment.

Medical note: The suitable treatment cannot be determined based on symptoms alone. The doctor determines the plan after examination and medical assessment.
