I visited Dr. Sherif Derbala with my daughter because of a suspected lazy eye. The exam was organized, and the doctor explained that children’s eye care requires commitment and follow-up, and that the plan differs according to the child’s age and examination results. We left the visit understanding the next steps clearly.

KF

Khaled Fouad

We visited Dr. Sherif Derbala because my son was tilting his head while watching TV. The doctor paid attention to the details and asked about the child’s behavior while reading and playing, then explained how head position can be related to eye movement and squint in some cases.

NM

Nada Mahmoud

I was worried that my child might have squint, especially when he was tired or focusing on something near. Dr. Sherif Derbala examined both eyes and explained when eye deviation needs follow-up and when the child may need glasses or additional tests. The experience was comfortable and clear.

Ahmed Samir

I booked with Dr. Sherif Derbala at the Nasr City branch because my daughter was complaining of poor vision at school. The doctor dealt with her calmly and explained the importance of a children’s vision test instead of relying only on what parents notice or what the child reports.

MA

Mariam Abdullah

I visited Dr. Sherif Derbala with my son because I noticed a slight deviation in one eye while he was focusing. The doctor examined his eye movements and explained the difference between true squint and pseudo-squint. He also clarified that deciding the right plan requires a children’s vision test and proper follow-up.
