Squint & Other Causes Of Pediatric Eye Consultation
Squint & Other Causes Of Pediatric Eye Consultation
In squint (strabismus), the eyes point in a different direction. One of them could be looking straight while the other is turning in, out, up, or down. It is usually an eye muscle problem, but different structural causes should be evaluated.
Squint is one of the most common eye problems in children, followed by refraction errors, congenital eye problems, ptosis, nystagmus, and developmental abnormalities. Diagnosing children’s visual problems might not be easy, especially if they are very young and do not communicate properly. Thus, if you suspect eye problems in your child, come to Eye Consultants Center to meet one of the best pediatric ophthalmologist in Dubai.

When Do You Need To Bring Your Child?
When Do You Need To Bring Your Child?
Sometimes children purposefully play with their eyes, and this is not necessarily a case of strabismus. Keep in mind bringing your child to an eye specialist if you notice one of these problems:
- Squint is maintained all the time.
- Squint comes and goes, but your child is older than three months.
- Your child tends to close one of his eyes when looking directly at something.
- Your child tends to turn his head to one side when looking directly at something.
- Your child is reporting double vision or developing squint later in life.

Patient Satisfaction Is Very Important To Us
I had my cataract surgery and lens implantation with Eye Consultants Clinic. What a beautiful experience! All the staff were very kind, helpful, and competent. Special thanks to the clinic manager for being so accommodating and caring in all of my inquiries. Thank you, Dr. Mohamed Awadalla for your dedication and for being best at what you do. Overall, I highly recommend Eye Consultants, they made sure that I get the best treatment possible.
I was a patient of Dr Ahmed El Khashab’s between 2018 and 2021, and had a retinal detachment surgery, a silicone oil removal surgery and a cataract surgery, as well as glaucoma surgery in another clinic but followed up with him. With no doubt in my mind, he is by far the best doctor I’ve ever come across. He is very patient, very informative and an absolute gem of a doctor. - Menna Aly
I had a cataract surgery in both eyes last week and now my vision is perfect. Thank you to the entire team at Eye Consultants Center and most especially to Dr. Ahmed El Khashab who performed my cataract surgery. It was an amazing experience and he is the best!
We are delighted to have an opportunity to express our gratitude and appreciation to Dr. Ahmed El Khashab and his staff for diligently caring for my mother's eye problems and her cataract surgery. They are not only most professional but always attentive to our needs and concerns. Dr. and his staff are eager to care for us as a hive of "busy bees". Thank you doctor.
I was diagnosed as having cataract in both my eyes and advised surgery.This was my very first experience and I was really nervous, but Dr Ahmed Al Khasheb assured me it will go well. I must say he is not only an expert in his field but also very kind and understanding. The surgery went well and now I have a perfect vision. I’m also thankful to the receptionists and the nurses at Eye Contact Center for being respectful and professional. I would definitely recommend this hospital and especially Dr Ahmed.
The whole team at Eye Consultants is very professional and Dr. Ahmed is special and recently performed cataract removal from both my eyes successfully. He has previously performed surgery on one eye to address a retinal detachment case. HIGHLY recommend him and his wonderful team.
