Apparatus eye treatment in pediatrics is used for prevention and conservative therapeutic treatment of amblyopia, different types of crossed eyes, progressive myopia, spasm of accommodation, degeneration of retina, optic atrophy and other disorders. At the ophthalmologic clinic SVIT ZORU such treatment is performed in the special room in the form of a game by specially trained staff (orthoptists). Apparatus eye treatment in pediatrics is prescribed as a course of 5 or 10 sessions.
