JEC presents Children Eye & Squint Clinic at JEC @ Kedoya to give special and comprehensive treatments to children's eye disorders, and squint eye problem for children and adults.

This service is intended for children in growth period; from baby to teenage. Because the growth period is very important in the development of mental, physical, and social for the kids, that is why the service given should be specific.

When is the right to check the children's eye for the first time?

Most of the kids can't complain about their eye disorders so an early check up is very important to do:

  • The children should be examined during the first year of life, especially if you or the doctor suspecting disorders or if there are eye history of eye disorders in the family.
  • If no suspected eye disorders found or if there are no history of eye disorders in the family, then a complete examination is advised before the children reach the age of four. If no disorders found, then a regular check up can be continued once every one or two years.
  • Children with special medical condition, like diabetes, blood abnormalities, metabolic disorders, and genetic abnormalities are needed to be examined regularly according to the doctor's advise.

The examination will include these steps:

  • Eye examination using a slit lamp or handheld light to check any abnormalities in the eye anatomy.
  • Examination of the eye position and movement, to check for strabismus.
  • Refractive examination to decide whether the children needs a pair of glasses or not.
  • Retina nerves examination with a retcam.
  • Most of the children will have their pupil widened by giving some eye drops during the examination.

This eye drops will make the children have blurred vision for a few days. It is to remove the needed accomodation for prescribing glasses and to make it easier to examine the retina.If needed, the children ophthalmologist will consult the children with other CESC team, e.g. Pediatrician or Neuro pediatrician, child psychologist, and or low vision specialist.
