Microthalmos

We pride ourselves in being expert of Microphthalmia treatment in India. With due coarse of time Art Eyes has developed a treatment plan for such cases which is customized with the age of presentation of the patient. We prefer to start the treatment as soon as possible after examination of paediatrician& ophthalmologist. In most of the cases the best time to start the treatment is 6 weeks of age. In very first visit we fit a small size conformer in the eye to manage the unwanted turn of eyelids. Then sooner the process start for expansion of socket. Slowly & progressively enlargement of the conformer helps in maintain the small eye and it reaches the same size as natural eye and at last both eyes looks similar.
