Pediatric eye procedures address common childhood vision issues like misaligned eyes, blocked tear ducts, cataracts, and eyelid growths, often involving specialized exams under anesthesia for younger kids, alongside treatments for amblyopia and childhood glaucoma, with some refractive surgery like LASIK available for older children.
