Conditions Dr. Salwa Bakhurji Helps Assess and Treat

Dr. Salwa Bakhurji helps assess and follow up on several conditions related to pediatric ophthalmology and strabismus. The choice of examinations or the appropriate plan depends on the child’s age, symptoms, and medical examination results.

Horizontal and Vertical Strabismus

Dr. Salwa assesses inward or outward eye deviation, as well as vertical deviation, and determines whether the condition requires follow-up, vision correction, lazy eye treatment, or assessment for additional steps based on the examination results.

Poor Vision and Lazy Eye in Children

A child may need a specialized assessment when poor vision is noticed, when the child relies on one eye more than the other, closes one eye while focusing, or has associated strabismus. The examination helps assess the degree of vision and determine the appropriate follow-up plan.

Nasolacrimal Duct Obstruction in Children

Dr. Salwa follows cases of nasolacrimal duct obstruction in children, which may be associated with excessive tearing or recurrent discharge. The medical assessment determines the cause of the symptoms and the appropriate next step for the condition.

Pediatric Eye Examination

A pediatric eye examination helps assess clarity of vision, eye movement, the presence of strabismus or lazy eye, and whether the child needs glasses or specialized follow-up. The examination method varies according to the child’s age and ability to respond.

Medical Note: The cause of the problem or the appropriate plan cannot be determined from symptoms alone. The doctor determines the necessary examinations and follow-up after assessing the child.
