I saw Professor Jeeva today for a consultation regarding lower blephoroplasty. I was made very welcome and put at ease. The procedure was explained to me and I was encouraged to ask as many questions I wanted. I wasn't made to feel rushed or pressured into anything and left feeling that if I do decide to proceed I will be in safe hands.
Alison SmithMy mum Maureen Astles had a Zoom consultation with Mr Jeeva this morning. What a lovely surgeon he was helpful informative and such a nice smile putting her totally at ease. She is now looking forward to meeting him in person for surgery as she knows she will be in the best hands for a successful outcome.
Catherine AstlesI would like to extend my heartfelt thanks to Mr Jeeva, my surgeon and all the doctors and staff at the centre. The care I received from start to finish was exceptional. I felt at ease and was reassured throughout the procedure, feeling safe the entire time. I cannot thank you enough and will definitely be recommending your services to family and friends.
Denise DouthwaiteWhat are Pediatric Ophthalmic Treatments?
A child's visual system develops rapidly during their early years. Specialised pediatric eye care addresses specific pediatric diseases like misaligned eyes (strabismus) or unequal focus (amblyopia).
Early intervention ensures the brain learns to use both eyes normally. Our expert uses child-friendly techniques to diagnose and treat these conditions gently. This restores their sight, prevents long-term impairment, and directly supports your child's daily learning and overall confidence.
Why Choose Paediatrician Services?

How Does Pediatric Eye Treatment Work?
We seamlessly integrate pediatric primary care principles by prioritising your child's comfort above all else. The process begins with specialised, playful vision testing to accurately measure how the eyes move and focus, even if your child cannot yet read letters.
Depending on the clinical diagnosis, treatment may involve prescribing customised corrective glasses, using simple eye patches to strengthen a weaker eye, or recommending precise surgical correction for severe muscle misalignments.

Frequently Asked Questions
Children should ideally have a baseline eye examination between 2 and 3 years of age. However, you should book an appointment immediately if you notice symptoms like crossing eyes, excessive tearing, or drooping eyelids at any age.
We use highly engaging, child-friendly techniques. Instead of standard letter charts, we use picture-matching games, light-tracking tests, and simple shapes to accurately measure their vision in a fun way.
While a newborn's eyes may wander slightly in the first few months, a true squint will not go away without treatment. It requires specialised medical intervention, such as glasses, patching, or surgery, to correct the alignment.
Yes, we often use safe dilating drops to temporarily relax the eye's focusing muscles. This allows the doctor to accurately assess their prescription needs and thoroughly examine the back of the eye.
Prolonged screen time can cause eye strain and fatigue, but it does not directly cause conditions like squints. We highly recommend taking regular breaks using the 20-20-20 rule (looking 20 feet away every 20 minutes) to keep their eyes comfortable.
