Childhood myopia is a vision disorder in which a child has difficulty distinguishing objects at a distance. Parents often notice this when their little one starts squinting while looking at a TV screen or the school board.
Main causes: heredity, weakness of accommodation, prolonged visual strain (gadgets, reading), failure to maintain visual hygiene, poor nutrition and overexertion. Odesa ophthalmologists recommend paying special attention to prevention.
Treatment of myopia in Odessa:
● Hardware treatment
● Eyeglass or contact correction
● Surgical treatment of myopia (scleroplasty)
● “Night” contact lenses (orthokeratology)
Childhood farsightedness is a vision disorder in which a child sees nearby objects poorly. Without timely diagnosis, this can lead to serious complications — strabismus or amblyopia.
Main causes: heredity, injuries, congenital features.
Treatment of farsightedness in Odesa:
● Correction with glasses or lenses
● Hardware treatment
Childhood astigmatism is a type of ametropia, that is, a disorder of refraction or visual acuity. With astigmatism, a child sees objects as distorted: instead of a clear dot — a blurry dash or oval.
In 98% of cases, astigmatism is hereditary. However, it can also be acquired — after injuries, infections or inflammatory processes.
Treatment of astigmatism in Odesa:
● Correction with glasses or lenses
● Hardware treatment
● “Night” contact lenses (orthokeratology)
Strabismus is a vision disorder in which one or both eyes deviate from the direct line of gaze. The causes can be both congenital and acquired.
It is important to understand: strabismus is not just an aesthetic problem. To avoid double vision, the brain gradually “switches off” the squinting eye, which can trigger the development of amblyopia (“lazy eye”).
Treatment of strabismus in Odesa:
● Optical correction
● Hardware treatment
● Surgical treatment
Amblyopia is an ophthalmological condition characterized by a persistent decrease in visual acuity in one or both eyes. In this condition, one eye effectively drops out of the visual process, which over time can lead to significant vision loss.
Causes — absence of timely correction and treatment of myopia, farsightedness, astigmatism, strabismus, as well as obstacles to the passage of light (cataracts, ptosis).
Treatment of amblyopia in Odesa:
● Hardware treatment
● Correction with glasses and contact lenses
● “Night” contact lenses (orthokeratology)
● Surgery for strabismus or cataracts (if necessary)
Congenital cataracts are a clouding of the lens of the eye that is detected from the very first days of a child’s life. Early diagnosis is critically important for preserving vision.
Causes: metabolic disorders, diabetes in the mother, infectious diseases of the mother in the first trimester of pregnancy. Timely detection of congenital cataracts in children in Odesa is the key to successful treatment.
Treatment of congenital cataracts in Odesa:
● Surgical operation (performed after the child reaches 3 months of age).
False myopia or accommodation spasm is a visual acuity disorder that occurs as a result of prolonged overstrain of the inner eye muscle responsible for focusing. It is most commonly found in schoolchildren due to excessive strain on the eyes.
Treatment of accommodation spasm in Odesa:
● Hardware treatment
Dangerous symptoms. Pay attention!
As a rule, a child is not aware of vision problems and does not complain about any impairments. First of all, they have nothing to compare their vision indicators with, and secondly, they do not know how to properly describe their problem. Therefore, every parent must carefully observe their child in order to notice changes in behavior in time.
If your child has started squinting to make out objects, tilts their head significantly while reading, rubs their eyes, or complains of a headache – it is necessary to urgently consult a pediatric ophthalmologist.

Eximer KIDS Ophthalmology Clinic is staffed by ophthalmologists specializing in children’s vision, well-versed in the psychology of young patients. This means that diagnosis and treatment can be carried out most effectively and comfortably for both children and their parents.
The doctors at Eximer KIDS Ophthalmology Clinic specialize in myopia, hyperopia, astigmatism, strabismus, amblyopia, congenital cataract and glaucoma, and other ophthalmologic pediatric conditions. The treatment approach to children’s disorders is different from the adult approach. Owing to the greater plasticity of the child’s visual system and its ability to change, a complex of treatment measures includes therapeutic treatment and vision correction with glasses or contact lenses, and surgical methods are used in case of specific indications. The modern techniques used in the complex treatment are as attenuated as possible, and the treatment effect is reliable and stable.
Eximer KIDS Ophthalmology Clinic in Kyiv and Odesa is equipped to the highest international standards and has all the technical capabilities for the effective treatment of children’s eye diseases.

A child’s vision system is much more susceptible to alterations than an adult’s one, so it is highly recommended that children have their eyes checked once a year. Regular visits to an ophthalmologist are just as vital as regular vaccinations and visits to the pediatrician.
Pediatric vision diagnostics at Eximer KIDS Ophthalmology Clinic is performed using a set of world-class, high-precision equipment. This provides us with complete information about a child’s state of vision, identifying the majority of eye disorders at the earliest stages and determining potential threats to a child’s vision.
Measurement of eye refraction, eyeball length, corneal curvature, and anterior chamber depth reveal the presence of refractive disorders. Particular attention is paid to checking binocular functions, i.e., the brain’s ability to create a uniform “picture” of what each eye sees separately. The modern examination must include a dilated pupil test, using a set of next-generation medications.
All diagnostic procedures at Eximer KIDS Ophthalmology Clinic are contact-free.
A complete overview of a child’s vision is compiled according to the diagnostic data. Information about each patient is stored in the clinic’s electronic database. This allows doctors to monitor vision changes over time.
Highly qualified pediatric ophthalmologists at Eximer KIDS Ophthalmology Clinic provide assistance in choosing the appropriate glasses or contact lenses to correct a child’s refractive error (myopia, hyperopia, or astigmatism).
Therapeutic treatment
Sight is just being formed in childhood, and therefore it is the period when it is most likely to be improved without surgery, just with therapeutic methods and complex visual stimulation. All procedures at Eximer KIDS Ophthalmology Clinic are safe and painless.
Today, Eximer KIDS Ophthalmology Clinic has the widest range of facilities for non-invasive treatment in children and teenagers with unique equipment for myopia, hyperopia, astigmatism, amblyopia, strabismus, binocular vision training, restoration of eye accommodation capacity, visual acuity increase.
Synoptophore is used as part of a set of therapeutic exercises that fuse two images into one. It trains eyesight in case of strabismus and improves overall eye mobility.
Laser therapy promotes retinal activation, thus increasing visual acuity. It is used for spasm, paresis, and paralysis of accommodation.
Electrical stimulation is required for dystrophic and atrophic processes in the retina and optic nerve, as the elasticity of blood vessels increases when exposed to the electric field.
Magnetotherapy is used to improve blood flow through the vessels, as well as blood supply to the brain and visual system.
Vacuum massage improves blood supply to the eyes, relieves visual tension and fatigue, and increases the efficiency of the visual system.
Computer programs restore binocular functions and develop a stereoscopic vision.
REAMED, a unique device working on the principle of biofeedback helps to restore normal functioning of the central parts of the brain responsible for vision. It is required to prevent and treat accommodation spasm, amblyopia, myopia, hyperopia, astigmatism, and other visual disorders.
Pediatric ophthalmologic surgery
Pediatric ophthalmologic surgeries (strabismus, congenital cataract, and glaucoma) are conducted at the Eximer KIDS Ophthalmology Clinic solely if the state of a child’s visual system prevents the development of normal vision or poses a threat of blindness. All surgical interventions are performed as attenuated as possible, without hospitalization, on a single day basis.
Our clinic performs surgeries to correct strabismus of any complexity in cases where other methods cannot achieve the desired result.
Pediatric scleroplasty is performed to stop progressive myopia if the vision deteriorates by more than one diopter per year and interferes with the normal development of the child’s visual system. This technique is aimed at strengthening the posterior segment of the sclera and activating the metabolism in the eyeball membranes.
The clinic’s specialists offer unique surgeries for congenital conditions, including cataracts. At Eximer KIDS Ophthalmology Clinic, congenital cataracts are extracted using a safe and effective method, ultrasound phacoemulsification. The top-of-the-line equipment and the highest professionalism in the eye surgery department allow this operation to be performed even on babies up to the age of six months. You can make an appointment with the pediatric ophthalmologist by filling out the online form below or by calling us. Find out more in the Contact Us section.
