Services
A child’s eye health requires special attention, highly qualified doctors, and strict adherence to safety standards. That is why parents are increasingly paying attention not only to the specialists’ experience and modern equipment, but also to the presence of international quality certifications for medical care.
Today, the pediatric department of ASTANA VISION KIDS in Astana operates according to international quality and safety standards confirmed by JCI (Joint Commission International) accreditation – one of the most reputable healthcare evaluation systems in the world.
For parents, this means confidence that diagnostics, treatment, and monitoring of children are organized in accordance with the world’s best healthcare practices.
What is JCI accreditation and why is it important for children?
JCI is considered the international benchmark for healthcare quality. Certification is awarded to clinics that meet hundreds of requirements concerning:
- patient safety;
- treatment quality control;
- medical staff training;
- infection safety;
- surgical care organization;
- patient rights protection;
- continuous monitoring of medical processes.
When it comes to pediatric ophthalmology, the importance of such standards becomes especially significant. A child requires not only accurate diagnostics and effective treatment, but also a special approach that takes into account age‑related characteristics, psychological comfort, and safety at every stage of medical care.
ASTANA VISION KIDS – Specialized Pediatric Ophthalmology
The pediatric department of ASTANA VISION KIDS has been created specifically for the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of eye diseases in children.
Here, specialists work who deal with pediatric ophthalmology on a daily basis and thoroughly understand the developmental features of a child’s visual system.
Modern equipment allows examinations to be performed even on the youngest patients, detecting visual impairments at early stages when treatment is most effective.
Special attention is paid to diseases that can significantly affect a child’s quality of life and future development.
Treatment of Strabismus in Children
One of the most common areas of work at ASTANA VISION KIDS is the diagnosis and treatment of strabismus.
Strabismus is not only a cosmetic issue. Without timely treatment, it can lead to amblyopia («lazy eye»), impaired binocular vision, and reduced visual function.
ASTANA VISION KIDS employs a comprehensive approach to strabismus treatment, which may include:
- instrument‑based treatment;
- optical correction;
- special exercises;
- pediatric ophthalmologist monitoring;
- surgical treatment when indicated.
This approach allows the most effective treatment programme to be selected for each child individually.
Myopia Control – A Modern Approach to Managing Nearsightedness
There is a rapid increase in childhood myopia worldwide. Today, myopia is considered one of the most pressing issues in pediatric ophthalmology.
The greatest danger is not myopia itself, but its progression.
If myopia continues to increase year after year, it can significantly raise the risk of serious eye diseases in adulthood.
That is why modern ophthalmology is placing increasing emphasis on myopia control.
ASTANA VISION KIDS uses modern myopia progression control programmes that slow the growth of myopia and reduce the risk of further complications.
The programme is selected individually for each child after a comprehensive examination.
Orthokeratology Treatment (Night Lenses)
One of the most effective myopia control methods today is orthokeratology.
The method is based on the use of special night lenses that the child wears during sleep.
Overnight, the lens gently reshapes the superficial layers of the cornea, so that in the morning the child can see well without glasses or contact lenses.
Advantages of orthokeratology:
- good vision throughout the day;
- no need to wear glasses;
- no daytime contact lenses;
- ability to lead an active lifestyle;
- proven myopia progression control effect.
This is why orthokeratology is now widely used in many leading ophthalmic centres worldwide.
Modern Diagnostics for Young Patients
Effective treatment is impossible without accurate diagnostics.
ASTANA VISION KIDS uses modern diagnostic technologies to assess:
- visual acuity;
- refraction;
- fundus condition;
- eye alignment;
- binocular vision;
- corneal parameters;
- eye length in myopia.
Comprehensive examinations help doctors detect diseases at early stages and initiate treatment in a timely manner.
