Paediatric ophthalmologist treats children aged 3 to 18. During the ophthalmological visit, the doctor will not perform a fundus examination. The offer does not include the selection of lenses with a smooth focal length (progressive lenses) or the selection and fitting of contact lenses. For a professional selection of corrective lenses (and contact lenses), we invite you to visit an optometrist. Please arrive at the Center’s reception desk 15 minutes before your appointment and bring an ID with you. This service is available only at the medical facility indicated during the purchase.
