Prices for children ophthalmic examination
Diagnosis of eye diseases in children
| Service | Price in UAH |
|---|---|
| Comprehensive inspection | 1100 |
| for children aged 3 to 16 years all examinations on ophthalmic devices and a doctor's consultation with an examination of the fundus are included (duration up to two hours) Examination includes: determining the correspondence of the visual functions of the child to the age norm, video recording of the position of the eyes in case of strabismus, determining the dynamics of the growth of the eyeball, accurate diagnosis of the presence of astigmatism according to topographic data, determining the refraction of the eyes in conditions of fractional cycloplegia, a detailed examination of the fundus in conditions of cycloplegia, selection of the current spectacle correction, consultation with a pediatric ophthalmologist, recommendations for treatment and follow-up periods. | |
| Subscription for the annual observation of the child (up to 6 examinations per year) | 1700 |
| for children aged 3 to 16 years all examinations on ophthalmic devices and a doctor's consultation with an examination of the fundus are included (duration up to two hours) The examination includes: monitoring the dynamics of the child's visual functions, video recording of changes in the position of the eyes in case of strabismus during treatment, determining the dynamics of the growth of the eyeball, accurate diagnosis of the presence of astigmatism according to topographic data, determining the refraction of the eyes in conditions of fractional cycloplegia, a detailed examination of the fundus in conditions cycloplegia, selection of current spectacle correction, consultation of a pediatric ophthalmologist, recommendations for treatment and follow-up periods. | |
| Subscription for the annual observation of the child + hardware treatment | 11100 |
| (up to 6 examinations per year + up to 4 courses of 10 lessons) | |
| Vision screening before the start of the school year (schoolchildren) | 600 |
| + issue of certificate Examination includes: refractometry without cycloplegia, determination of visual acuity of the child according to the test corresponding to his age, determination of visual acuity with trial correction, determination of the presence of stereo vision (Lang standard test). Screening allows you to determine in a relatively short time: in a child, the age norm, vision is reduced, amblyopia of one or both eyes, the presence of astigmatism, the absence of binocular vision. If these violations are detected, the child is recommended to make an appointment for a full diagnostic examination in a planned manner. Please note that the format of the screening examination does not provide for a medical opinion, a certificate is issued for the school. | |
| Vision screening for patients aged 3-4 years | 700 |
| (before DDU) + issuance of a certificate The purpose of the examination is an attempt to determine the visual functions of the child, to identify the difference between both eyes - the formation of amblyopia ("lazy" eye). This examination also includes video recording of the position of the child's eyes during fixation. Early screening is especially recommended for babies in the presence of ophthalmic pathology and spectacle correction in older children in the family. | |
| Examination after screening | 700 |
Children's ophthalmology is often asked
Friendly and professional children’s ophthalmologists of the “German Eye Clinic” medical center will consult and conduct a complete hardware diagnostic examination of small patients aged three years and older.
Preventive examinations of healthy children are carried out at the polyclinic at the place of residence at one month and one year.
Preventive medical examinations in kindergartens and schools are aimed at detecting only gross, pronounced pathology. Therefore, the initial stages of such serious conditions as amblyopia, strabismus, astigmatism, retinoblastoma, etc. cannot be detected during preventive medical examinations. Based on modern world experience, we recommend an annual full examination of the child’s visual system for early detection and timely treatment of all eye diseases.
Young patients do not complain of eye problems, so parents should be especially attentive if:
- the child often rubs his eyes;
- closes one eye on the street;
- does not follow a moving object;
- the child often has red eyes;
- in children, the eye deviates in any direction, even not constantly;
- the child tilts or turns his head when looking straight;
- the child’s eyes twitch, not even constantly;
- the child has diabetes;
- the right eye differs from the left in any way (size, appearance, pupil diameter);
- in flash photos of a child, one pupil glows pink and the other glows white;
- any eye injury occurred.
If you have detected any of the listed symptoms in your child, you should contact the pediatric ophthalmologist of our center.
Of course you can. The “German Eye Clinic” has in its arsenal generally accepted and reliable tests Lea and Cardiff, which allow to assess visual acuity in children of any age, regardless of whether the small patient speaks.
Instillation of drops to dilate the pupil is necessary for the correct assessment of the optical properties of the eye and for a complete examination of the fundus (retina and optic nerve). The “German Eye Clinic” uses special drops that practically do not irritate the eyes and do not cause allergic or adverse reactions. After such an examination, the child does not need to be released from the school load for the next day.
Most often, yes. Usually, such complaints arise due to “hidden” farsightedness, nearsightedness or astigmatism. In such a situation, the child should be examined by a pediatric ophthalmologist.
No, it can’t. If strabismus is not treated in a timely manner, the child’s visual system will be grossly and irreversibly disturbed in the future. In the future, such imperfect vision limits the life and professional activity of a young person. The team of specialists of our center is able to timely detect and cure strabismus in the smallest patient.
If the child has a violation of the optical power of the eye (myopia, farsightedness, astigmatism), then glasses are the main “medicine” and give the small patient the opportunity to grow and develop properly. With farsightedness, as the child grows, the glasses weaken, and it is possible to get rid of them completely. Myopia and astigmatism of any degree will be guaranteed to be corrected for the patient after reaching the age of 18 by means of laser correction. Our specialists are unsurpassed leaders in the field of laser vision correction.
You can. The “German Eye Clinic” has a complex of modern, highly effective devices for the treatment of amblyopia, strabismus, myopia, farsightedness and astigmatism. Based on the results of the diagnosis, the pediatric ophthalmologist will prescribe an individual treatment and prevention program for your child.
