A cataract is a clouding of the natural lens in the eye that affects vision.  The lens is a clear part of the eye that helps to focus light, or an image, on the retina. The retina is the light sensitive tissue at the back of the eye. In a normal eye, light passes through the transparent lens to the retina. Once it reaches the retina, light is changed into nerve signals that are sent to the brain. The lens must be clear for the retina to receive a sharp image. If the lens is cloudy from a cataract, the image will be blurred.

The Pediatric Ophthalmology / Orthoptic / Adult Strabismus Department’s primary mission is to deliver the highest quality comprehensive eye care to children from birth through their teen years. The Department also delivers specialized eye care for adults with double vision (diplopia) related to strabismus and other disorders effecting binocular vision.

Pediatric Cases

Though strabismus, amblyopia and refractive errors are the most prevalent problems that are treated in the pediatric population, other ophthalmic diseases which effect children’s vision and binocular vision require a comprehensive eye care approach in children. All eye diseases potentially affect vision and consequently affect binocularity in these young patients whose visual systems are still growing and developing. For this reason, The Pediatric Ophthalmology Department has expanded over the last 10-15 years to develop specialized departments for pediatric congenital and acquired cataracts, pediatric glaucoma, pediatric retinal diseases, and pediatric corneal pathology. The Departments continues to expand the scope of services for children in specialty clinics in the hospital. This involves co- management, evaluation, and treatment of pediatric patients with ocular trauma and hearing problems that may also affect the visual system. They also offer the specialized service of pediatric visual fields and pediatric low vision. Recognizing that vision is essential for a child’s future educational and physiological growth, they also work with the Social Service Department, even before school age arranging services for visually challenged children.

LASIK is a surgical procedure for correcting near sightedness (myopia), far sightedness (hyperopia) and cylindrical (Astigmatic) refractive errors. LASIK stands for Laser-Assisted in Situ Keratomileusis.

Procedure of LASIK

During LASIK surgery, a flap is created in the outer layers of the cornea. The flap is hinged and lifted so the excimer laser can treat only the underlying layer of the cornea. This circular flap remains attached to the cornea by a small hinge of tissue. The hinge enables the flap to be lifted away from the central cornea. A laser can then be used to reshape the exposed mid-layer of the cornea.
