Vision therapy

At Optyk Centrum Wzroku Izabela Kujawińska, we place great importance on the diagnosis and treatment of various visual problems in children, including strabismus. Therapies for strabismus in children are extremely important, as they can significantly affect a child's long-term visual health and development. Here are the therapies we use at our practice to help children with strabismus:

1. Examination and diagnosis

The first step in treating a child's strabismus is a thorough examination and diagnosis. Our team of specialists carry out a precise eye examination to assess whether your child does indeed have strabismus and, if so, what type. The diagnosis allows us to tailor the therapy to each patient's individual needs.

2. Ophthalmic therapy

Ophthalmic therapy can involve a variety of methods, depending on the type and degree of strabismus. The most commonly used therapies include:

    Occlusion therapy: This is one of the most common therapies used to treat strabismus in children. It involves applying adhesive patches to one of the eyes to force the child to use the other eye. This helps to strengthen the weaker eye and improve the balance between the two.

    Optical therapy: Children with strabismus may require special glasses or contact lenses to help correct refractive errors and improve vision.

    Visual exercises: special visual exercises may be part of the therapy to help strengthen eye muscles and improve eye coordination.

3. Parent Education and Support

Parent education is crucial in the treatment of strabismus in children. Our specialists not only work with the child, but also educate parents about the therapy and how to support the child in daily activities. Parents play an important role in ensuring that the therapy is effective.

4. Monitoring Progress

Treating strabismus in children is a process that requires patience and regular monitoring of progress. Our team closely follows your child's response to therapy and adjusts as necessary to achieve the best results.

5. Collaboration with Other Professionals

If your child's strabismus therapy requires surgical intervention, we work with relevant surgical specialists to provide comprehensive care. Our aim is to provide your child with the best quality optical care and support for their strabismus treatment.

Strabismus therapies in children at Optyk Centrum Wzroku Izabela Kujawińska are a comprehensive approach based on knowledge, experience and concern for the healthy eyes of our youngest patients.
