Children’s eye care is not the same as adult eye care it demands an understanding of the development of vision, early diagnosis and early treatment to avoid lifelong visual disability. This curriculum aims to build professional and surgical skills in addressing issues like strabismus, amblyopia, congenital cataracts, paediatric glaucoma and retinal diseases. Rather than viewing these diseases in isolation, the programme focuses on a structured approach, with a long-term view of diagnosis, treatment and visual rehabilitation. The programme is structured around the real workflows on how a child is assessed for eye disease, how they are diagnosed, how surgery may be planned and how surgery and post-operative care is performed. You learn how to manage not only the eye disease, but also the challenges of working with children, where teamwork, timing and coordination are crucial. Key areas of focus include: Vision and refraction testing and early screening in children Strabismus diagnosis and management, surgical and non-surgical Treatment of amblyopia and visual rehabilitation Treatment of congenital eye diseases like paediatric cataracts, glaucoma and retinal pathologies Paediatric eye imaging and diagnostic skills Experience in strabismus surgery, paediatric cataract surgery and ocular trauma Education in new technologies like artificial intelligence-based diagnostic tools, imaging and regenerative medicine The vision is straightforward at the end of the fellowship, you should be able to examine, diagnose and manage a broad spectrum of paediatric eye diseases independently, accurately, effectively and compassionately. How This Fellowship Transforms Your Practice As you start to practice paediatric ophthalmology, your practice style becomes more systematic, active and goal-oriented. Early identification and proactive treatment become your key strengths. This manifests in: Enhanced ability to diagnose early childhood eye diseases Improving the management of strabismus and amblyopia in terms of visual efficacy Greater confidence in performing various paediatric ophthalmic surgeries Management of complex congenital and developmental eye disease Improved communication with parents and guardians for improved compliance and outcomes Over time you will become a paediatric ophthalmologist, a specialist with a precision and focus on early diagnosis and treatment that translates into a lifetime of good vision for children. Where This Fellowship Positions You On completion, you join a niche yet growing field of ophthalmology where there is a demand but a lack of expertise. Career pathways include: Paediatric eye centres, tertiary care and specialty clinics Specialisation in paediatric ophthalmology and strabismus eye misalignment Special interest in paediatric retina, neuro-ophthalmology or ocular oncology Collaboration with other specialists in the care of complex paediatric patients Teaching, research and education in academia Engagement in cutting-edge research in fields such as AI, genetics and regenerative ophthalmology Download Brochure in Whatsapp What you’ll learn Foundations of Pediatric Ophthalmology Clinical Pediatrics and Basic Interventions Advanced Pediatric Ophthalmology and Surgical Techniques Multidisciplinary Approach and Research Clinical Rotations and Community Outreach Pediatric Uveitis and Inflammatory Disorders Key Features Attending /Non-Attending Classes Free Study Material with recorded lectures Best Faculties (Super Specialists) of India 4.
