Examination of a child needs a special art. Not everyone is expert in it. At our institute, children friendly atmosphere is the key factor for optimum examination.
A special team of experts along with a separate well-equipped pediatric room is dedicated for this purpose. All children less than 3 years of age in particular and those who do not co-operate for slit-lamp examination are subjected to undergo examination under anesthesia.
