Paediatric Ophthalmology Expert Witnesses

Paediatric ophthalmology is a specialist area concerned with the diagnosis and management of eye and vision conditions affecting infants, children and young people. It can include conditions such as strabismus, amblyopia, refractive errors, childhood cataracts and other disorders affecting visual development. Cases involving children’s eye care can raise complex medico-legal questions. These may relate to recognition, diagnosis, investigations, visual development, clinical decision-making, treatment, surgical procedures and subsequent outcomes. Our paediatric eye care expert witnesses can provide independent, evidence-based medico-legal opinions and reports. Experts may review medical records, ophthalmic imaging, visual assessments and other relevant evidence. They can provide an opinion on matters within their specialist area of expertise.
