Paediatric ophthalmology focuses on diagnosing and treating eye problems in infants, children, and teenagers. Children’s eyes are still developing, requiring special knowledge and patience from the treating physician.

Children may not always express vision problems clearly. Some common signs that parents should watch for include:
Dr. Anuraag Gandhi emphasizes early detection because untreated vision issues can significantly impact a child's learning and overall development.
According to the World Health Organization, early treatment of childhood vision problems can prevent long-term blindness and disability.
One of Dr. Anuraag Gandhi's primary areas of expertise is squint correction. Squint, also known as strabismus, occurs when the eyes do not align properly and point in different directions.
Parents should look out for:
Dr. Anuraag Gandhi performs a thorough evaluation for each child to determine the best course of treatment.
If glasses or vision therapy are not sufficient to correct the squint, squint surgery may be recommended. Here’s what typically happens:

3. Post-operative care and monitoring to ensure a smooth recovery.
Dr. Anuraag Gandhi uses modern, precise surgical techniques to ensure safety and effectiveness. Most children recover quickly and can return to their normal activities within a few days.
