Pediatric Eye Care in Gilgit — FAQs
At what age should I bring my child for their first eye test?
Newborn screening at birth; again at 6 months, 3 years, and school entry. Earlier if any concern (squint, discharge, nystagmus).
Is patching treatment for lazy eye permanent?
Yes — if started before age 8. After this critical period, the visual cortex is less plastic and outcomes are less predictable.
Is squint surgery safe in children?
Yes. Squint surgery at FIO Hospital is performed under general anaesthesia by fellowship-trained pediatric ophthalmologists with an excellent safety record.
