Pediatric Eye Surgery

Gentle, expert eye care for children’s vision

At Anandam Netralaya, we provide specialized pediatric eye surgery for infants, children, and adolescents. We understand that young eyes are different—they need extra care, gentle handling, and an environment built for trust and comfort.

Who needs pediatric eye surgery?

Some conditions that require surgical care in children:

  • Congenital cataracts (cloudy lens present at birth)
  • Strabismus (misaligned or crossed eyes)
  • Amblyopia (lazy eye) when surgery is required along with vision therapy
  • Pediatric glaucoma (when eye pressure threatens vision)
  • Blocked tear ducts or epiphora (excessive tearing)
  • Eyelid problems (drooping lids, etc.)
  • Retinopathy of prematurity (in premature infants)
  • Eye injuries and trauma

Frequently Asked Questions

Discover the life-changing benefits of Pediatric Eye Surgery

Pediatric eye surgery includes specialized procedures to correct eye problems in infants, children, and teenagers. These may include cataracts, squint (crossed eyes), glaucoma, blocked tear ducts, and other congenital or developmental eye conditions.

If your child has poor eye contact, crossed eyes, frequent blinking, cloudy pupils, or complains of blurred vision, you should consult a pediatric eye specialist immediately. Early detection ensures better treatment outcomes.

Yes. At Anandam Netralaya, surgeries are performed by trained pediatric eye surgeons in child-friendly operating rooms. Depending on age, general or local anesthesia is used, and children are closely monitored for safety.

  • Congenital cataract surgery

  • Squint correction (strabismus surgery)

  • Pediatric glaucoma surgery

  • Tear duct blockage correction

  • Eyelid surgeries (drooping lid, injuries)

In some cases, yes. After procedures like cataract surgery, children may need glasses or contact lenses to support proper visual development. A personalized care plan is provided by our doctors.

Recovery usually takes from a few days to a few weeks, depending on the procedure. Regular follow-up visits are important to monitor healing and vision progress.

Not all conditions can be prevented, especially congenital ones. However, regular eye check-ups, protecting the eyes from injury, and limiting screen overuse help reduce risks and prevent vision loss.
