Why Pediatric Eye Care Matters
Children may not always recognize or communicate that they have a vision problem. Early detection of refractive errors and conditions such as amblyopia or squint can allow appropriate management and help support healthy visual development.
At Clarity Eye Clinic, Lodha Signet, Lower Parel, Mumbai, Dr. Nikita Mashru offers a comfortable and child-friendly approach to pediatric eye assessment, helping parents understand their child's vision and eye-health needs.
