Children’s ophthalmology

We treat children at St Thomas’ Hospital and aim to provide an environment that is both stimulating and reassuring to children with visual impairments.

We have a strong history of research and innovation and are a major teaching and training unit for ophthalmologists, optometrists, orthoptists, ophthalmic nurses, ophthalmic imagers and ophthalmic technicians from all over the world.

We treat children with a range of conditions that affect vision and the eyes:

• squints
• eye movement disorder
• cataracts
• corneal problems
• glaucoma.

Our consultant paediatric ophthalmology surgeons are:

• Mr Luis Amaya
• Prof Chris Hammond
• Mr Danny Morrison
