SERI Lugano has a dedicated Paediatric Ophthalmology Service to assess visual capacity and any related disorders in children.<\/p>\n

The personal characteristics and needs of each individual child play a key role in the patient-centred approach adopted by the\u00a0Switzerland Eye Research Institute. In SERI\u2019s Paediatric Ophthalmology Service, all\u00a0eye exams and diagnostic testsneeded to assess the child\u2019s visual acuity that are carried out by specialist staff trained to welcome the child in a joyful and peaceful setting and foster a collaborative relationship with a view to minimising children\u2019s distress.<\/p>\n

Many childhood illnesses have a better outcome with an early diagnosis and appropriate treatment.<\/p>\n

Every child should undergo their first ophthalmological and orthoptic examination in the first years of life to ensure an effective early diagnosis of any potential disorders. The infant\u2019s visual system develops gradually in the first six months of life, reaching full maturity between the ages of 6 and 8. Visual acuity, or the capacity to see clearly, changes and develops as the child grows. At birth, the child generally has approximately 1\/20 vision, at four months 2\/10, and at one year 3-4\/10. It is only at 3 years of age that a child\u2019s visual capacity reaches 10\/10.<\/p>\n

Orthoptics is a series of vision therapy techniques targeting muscular, neural, and sensorial deficiencies.<\/p>\n

The orthoptist is a healthcare professional specialised in the prevention, assessment and treatment of sight defects, as well as carrying out diagnostic examinations. The orthoptist at SERI works closely with the eye doctor and the psychologist to detect motility disorders (for instance strabismus) and visual disorders (for instance amblyopia), and to define the course of vision therapy that best suits the specific characteristics of the individual patient. The orthoptist\u2019s role at the SERI Pediatric Ophthalmology Service is to detect and correct refraction abnormalities, as well as to closely monitor ocular motility, a key factor in achieving optimal vision when the patient is adult.<\/p>\n
