  • Visual Acuity Test

    Measuring the child's ability to see clearly at various distances using age-appropriate methods.

  • Binocular Vision

    Evaluating how well the eyes work together and detect any misalignment or strabismus.

  • Functional Vision Assessment

    Determining the range of vision and identifies any areas of vision loss or defects.

Advanced Surgical Options

Trabeculectomy

Trabeculectomy is a surgical procedure that creates a new drainage pathway for aqueous humor to leave the eye, thereby reducing intraocular pressure. During the surgery, a small flap is made in the sclera (the white part of the eye) and a reservoir, or bleb, is formed under the conjunctiva (the thin covering of the eye). This allows fluid to bypass the blocked drainage channels.

Implants

Glaucoma drainage devices, also known as shunts or tubes, are implants placed in the eye to facilitate the drainage of aqueous humor. These devices are designed to create an alternative pathway for fluid to exit the eye, helping to lower intraocular pressure. There are several types of drainage devices, including the Ahmed, Baerveldt, and Molteno implants.

MIGS

Minimally Invasive Glaucoma Surgery (MIGS) encompasses a group of procedures that aim to reduce intraocular pressure with less trauma to the eye and faster recovery times compared to traditional glaucoma surgeries. MIGS procedures include the use of tiny stents, micro-incisions, and other advanced techniques to improve fluid outflow.
