Second Opinion

During the U-examinations, the pediatrician routinely looks at the eyes and gets an idea of your child’s vision. If this reveals discrepancies and a visual impairment is suspected, the child is referred to a specialist. But symptoms that are already recognizable to laypersons, such as squinting or eye tremor, can also lead parents to seek a second opinion. If visual impairment is detected at an early stage, it can often be treated well and with little invasive measures.

A competent second opinion from a renowned pediatric ophthalmologist such as Prof. Dr. Eisenack provides clarity and gives you the confidence to decide on the best possible treatment. Thanks to modern medicine, we can influence visual development and significantly improve visual impairments even in childhood.

How to get a second opinion if your child is suspected of having a visual impairment

Contact and appointment

Whether with a referral from your pediatrician or because you would like an eye examination for your child yourself, feel free to contact our clinic team for an appointment. If you have already received documents from the doctor treating you, please bring all the information with you.

Diagnosis

Prof. Dr. Eisenack will use the medical history and a comprehensive eye examination to get an idea of the situation and then make a diagnosis. This allows you to know what your child has and what can be done

Therapy

Since many vision disorders have a greater chance of recovery, especially those treated during infancy, we will suggest immediate treatment to support your child’s vision and eye development. Depending on the diagnosis, this can range from simple eye patching therapy to surgery, depending on which treatment approach offers the best chance of improving/restoring vision and thus quality of life.

In the best hands with a specialist

Prof. Dr. Eisenack is not only an experienced ophthalmologist and ophthalmic surgeon, he is particularly dedicated to treating the smallest patients. When parents hear from their pediatrician that there might be a visual impairment, or when their child shows eye problems, this often causes them great concern.

We would like to take these worries away from you as far as possible when you come to our clinic. Using the latest equipment, regular training, a lot of experience and – most importantly – with a lot of empathy, we will investigate the problem and together find a solution that can help your child in the long term.
