Comprehensive eye care for infants, children, and teenagers — treating squint, amblyopia, congenital conditions, and visual development disorders with child-friendly expertise.
A child's visual system is still developing until about age 8–10. Untreated eye conditions during this critical period can lead to permanent vision loss (amblyopia) that cannot be corrected later in life.
Children often cannot communicate vision problems — they simply adapt. Regular eye screenings and prompt treatment of any detected conditions are essential for healthy visual development.
Sitting close to TV · Squinting frequently · Head tilting · Eye turn · White reflex in photos · Rubbing eyes often · Difficulty reading · Poor performance at school
Our clinic is designed to make children comfortable — with friendly staff, child-appropriate equipment, and a warm, reassuring approach from Dr. Sharma and team.
Misalignment of the eyes — treated with glasses, patches, exercises, and sometimes surgery to straighten the eyes and prevent amblyopia.
Reduced vision in one eye due to lack of use during development. Treated with patching therapy, glasses, and atropine drops.
Myopia (near-sightedness), hyperopia (far-sightedness), and astigmatism — corrected with spectacles or contact lenses.
Elevated eye pressure in newborns causing enlarged, cloudy eyes. Requires prompt surgical intervention to preserve vision.
Clouding of the lens present at birth or developing in early childhood. Surgery and visual rehabilitation essential for normal development.
Drooping eyelid in children can block visual development. Surgical correction prevents lifelong amblyopia.
We listen carefully to parents' observations — you know your child best.
Age-appropriate charts — pictures for toddlers, letters for older children. No reading required for infants.
Eye drops to temporarily relax eye muscles for accurate spectacle power measurement.
Slit lamp, fundus, and pressure check. All done with child-friendly techniques.
Early treatment makes all the difference. Book a pediatric eye evaluation today.
Custom-crafted, hand-painted artificial eyes that restore appearance, confidence, and quality of life — made in Uttarakhand's first dedicated Ocularistry Laboratory at Apex Eye Care Centre.
Dr. Vishal H. Sharma established Uttarakhand's first Ocularistry Laboratory — making custom-made artificial eyes (ocular prostheses) accessible to patients in the region without having to travel to distant metros.
Each artificial eye is individually crafted and hand-painted by skilled ocularists to precisely match the colour, size, and appearance of the patient's natural eye — achieving remarkably realistic results.
Beyond appearance, a well-fitted prosthetic eye supports the orbital socket structure, prevents tissue contracture, and has profound psychological benefits — restoring self-confidence and social participation.
Hand-crafted PMMA acrylic artificial eye painted by skilled ocularists to precisely replicate the colour, iris, pupil, and blood vessel pattern of your natural eye.
Careful conformer fitting and impression technique to ensure perfect socket fit — maximising comfort, movement, and retention.
Artificial eyes typically need replacement every 3–5 years. We provide regular polishing, maintenance, and timely replacement services.
Complete follow-up after eye removal surgery — from socket healing to final prosthesis fitting, with psychological support throughout.
Specially sized artificial eyes for children with congenital anophthalmia or post-enucleation — with regular size upgrades as the child grows.
Regular professional cleaning and polishing appointments to maintain hygiene, clarity, and optimal appearance of the prosthesis.
An alginate impression of your eye socket is taken to create a perfect-fitting base for the prosthesis.
A wax trial prosthesis is made and fitted to check size, shape, and comfort before finalising.
Skilled ocularists hand-paint the iris, pupil, and scleral blood vessels to match your other eye exactly.
Final fitting, comfort check, and training on insertion, removal, and daily care of your prosthesis.
Uttarakhand's first Ocularistry Laboratory is right here in Dehradun.
Advanced laser eye surgery — LASIK, SMILE, and surface ablation procedures — to permanently correct near-sightedness, far-sightedness, and astigmatism with precision and safety.
Laser vision correction permanently reshapes the cornea (the clear front surface of the eye) to correct how light focuses on the retina — eliminating or significantly reducing the need for glasses or contact lenses.
Modern laser procedures are highly precise, quick, and safe. Most patients achieve 6/6 (20/20) or better vision within 24–48 hours of surgery and return to work the following day.
Good candidates for laser surgery are generally: 18+ years old · Stable prescription for 1+ year · Adequate corneal thickness · No active eye disease. A pre-operative screening will confirm your suitability.
The gold standard — a thin corneal flap is created and laser reshapes the underlying tissue. Rapid recovery, minimal discomfort, excellent outcomes.
Flapless, all-laser procedure — a lenticule is created and removed through a tiny incision. Ideal for dry eye-prone patients and contact sports enthusiasts.
Surface ablation without a flap. Slightly longer recovery but ideal for patients with thin corneas or certain corneal conditions.
Maps 22,000 corneal elevation points for a fully personalised treatment — often delivering super-normal 6/5 vision outcomes.
For high prescriptions unsuitable for laser — a thin lens is implanted inside the eye, preserving the cornea. Reversible and excellent quality of vision.
PRESBYOND and monovision LASIK for patients over 40 seeking independence from reading glasses.
Corneal mapping, thickness measurement, pupil assessment, and comprehensive evaluation to confirm suitability and select the best procedure.
Anaesthetic drops are applied — no injections. The procedure is completely painless.
The laser precisely reshapes your cornea. You see a blinking light — just focus and relax.
Rest for a few hours. Most patients see clearly by the next morning. Regular follow-ups at 1 day, 1 week, 1 month, 3 months.

A thorough, systematic evaluation of your complete eye health — from vision testing to retinal examination — detecting problems early, when they're easiest to treat.
Many serious eye conditions — glaucoma, diabetic retinopathy, macular degeneration — have no symptoms in their early stages. By the time you notice vision changes, significant irreversible damage may already have occurred.
Regular comprehensive eye exams allow us to detect and treat these conditions early — protecting your vision for life. They also reveal systemic health conditions including diabetes, high blood pressure, and even brain tumors.
Children (3–18 yrs): Every 1–2 years · Adults 18–60 yrs: Every 2 years · Adults 60+ yrs: Every year · Diabetics: Every year · Glaucoma risk: Every 6–12 months
Our comprehensive exam screens for:
Distance and near vision measurement using standardised Snellen and LogMAR charts. Identifies the need for spectacles or contact lenses.
Precise measurement of your spectacle or contact lens prescription using advanced auto-refractometers and subjective refraction.
Non-contact tonometry to measure eye pressure — essential for glaucoma screening. Painless and takes seconds.
Biomicroscopic examination of the cornea, lens, iris, and anterior chamber under magnification — detecting cataracts, corneal disease, and more.
After dilating drops, the retina, optic nerve, macula, and blood vessels are examined — the most important part of screening for retinal diseases.
High-resolution cross-sectional imaging of the retina and optic nerve — detecting early macular degeneration, glaucoma, and diabetic changes.
Quick registration, review of medical history, current medications, and visual concerns.
Vision testing, pressure check, and auto-refraction performed by trained ophthalmic technicians.
Drops are applied to dilate pupils. Takes 20–30 minutes to work. Bring sunglasses — you'll have blurred near vision for 4–6 hours.
Dr. Sharma reviews all findings, answers your questions, and provides a complete eye health report.
Don't wait for symptoms. Book your comprehensive eye checkup today.

Comprehensive diagnosis and treatment of misaligned eyes in children and adults — from non-surgical therapies to precise corrective surgery — restoring straight eyes, binocular vision, and confidence.
Squint (Strabismus) is a condition where the two eyes are not aligned in the same direction — one eye may turn inward (esotropia), outward (exotropia), upward (hypertropia), or downward (hypotropia) while the other looks straight ahead.
Squint affects approximately 4% of the population and can occur at any age — from infancy to adulthood. In children, untreated squint almost always leads to amblyopia (lazy eye) and permanent loss of binocular (3D) vision if not addressed promptly.
Dr. Vishal H. Sharma offers the complete spectrum of squint management — from glasses and patching for children to precision squint surgery for patients of all ages.
The visual system develops until age 8–10. A squinting eye that isn't treated during this window loses the ability to develop normal vision — a condition called amblyopia. Early treatment restores alignment AND protects vision development.
One eye visibly turns in, out, up, or down — especially noticeable when the child is tired or focusing on something far away.
Child habitually tilts or turns their head to one side to use the better eye or to reduce double vision.
Squinting or closing one eye in bright light — a classic sign of intermittent exotropia (outward turning squint).
Child covers or rubs one eye frequently — often indicates double vision or poor vision in that eye.
The red/orange eye-shine in photographs appears different in each eye — a simple early screening sign parents can notice at home.
Difficulty reading, avoiding near tasks, or poor concentration at school may indicate an underlying visual alignment problem.
Many squints in children — especially accommodative esotropia — are fully corrected with the right glasses prescription alone, without any surgery needed.
Patching the stronger eye forces the weaker, squinting eye to work — improving its vision and often reducing the degree of squint simultaneously.
Injection into an overactive eye muscle to temporarily weaken it — used for selected squint types, especially in adults and for post-surgical fine-tuning.
Specialised visual exercises to strengthen eye coordination and improve convergence — particularly useful for convergence insufficiency and intermittent exotropia.
Precise surgical adjustment of the eye muscles to restore eye alignment. Safe, effective, and often performed as day-care under general anaesthesia in children.
Advanced technique for adult squint surgery where the muscle position is fine-tuned the day after surgery while the patient is awake — maximising precision of alignment.
Measurement of the angle of squint in multiple gaze positions, binocular vision testing, and evaluation of amblyopia.
Amblyopia treatment (if present) and optimal spectacle correction before surgery for best outcomes.
Children have surgery under general anaesthesia; adults often under local. Most go home the same day. Surgery takes 30–60 minutes.
Eyes may be red and sore for 1–2 weeks. Vision is not affected. Most children return to school within a week.
Regular follow-ups to monitor alignment, maintain amblyopia treatment, and adjust glasses as needed over time.
