Why early eye care matters
A few things every parent should keep in mind about their child's vision.
Vision develops early
Most of a child's visual system finishes developing before age 7–8, which is why issues like squint or a lazy eye respond best when caught during these early years rather than later.
Signs are easy to miss
Head tilting, sitting too close to the TV, one eye drifting, or closing an eye in sunlight can look like habits — but they're often the first visible clue of an underlying eye condition.
Not every case needs surgery
Depending on the diagnosis, treatment can range from glasses and patching to vision exercises — surgery is only considered when it's genuinely the right option for that child.

Frequently asked questions
At what age should my child's eyes first be checked?
Even babies with no obvious problem benefit from a basic vision check in the first year, and again before they start school. If you notice anything unusual — such as an eye drifting, excessive watering, or light sensitivity — it's best to get it checked immediately rather than waiting for a routine visit.
My child's eyes sometimes look crossed — is that squint?
Occasional wandering in very young babies can be a normal part of early eye coordination. But if it continues past about 4 months of age, happens frequently, or is present at any age, it's worth getting evaluated to check whether it's true squint (strabismus).
Will my child need surgery for squint?
Not necessarily. Many cases of squint are managed successfully with glasses, patching therapy or vision exercises. Surgery is only recommended when the misalignment is significant or doesn't respond to these other measures.
Do you only treat squint, or other eye conditions too?
Along with squint (strabismus), the clinic manages nystagmus, watering eyes, refractive errors, congenital and childhood cataract, neuro-ophthalmic conditions and low vision — see the Services page for the full list.
