Pediatric Ophthalmology
Patient Appointments: WVU Eye Institute |
Children need to have their eyes examined early in life, preferably by 3 years of age. We provide children with routine eye care as well as care for more serious conditions.
Our pediatric ophthalmologists manage eye conditions that can occur during the first 2 decades of your child’s life. The most commonly treated conditions include:
- crossed eyes (strabismus)
- lazy eye (amblyopia)
- glaucoma
- inherited eye disease
We also treat eye injuries and eye problems that may be part of a medical condition.
The WVU Eye Institute offers a special program for school-age children with low vision. The Children's Vision Rehabilitation Project provides:
- access to visual devices
- training for the child, family, and teachers in using the devices
- continuing support and assessment of the child's progress
West Virginia children with low vision who are enrolled in grades K-12 are eligible for this program.
