Paediatric Eye Care
We understand the importance of early detection and proper management of eye conditions in children.
Why Pediatric Eye Care Matters: Children's vision plays a critical role in their overall development, including learning, coordination, and social interaction. Undetected or untreated eye problems can lead to difficulties in school, hindered motor skills, and even permanent vision loss. Regular eye exams and specialized care for children are essential to identify and address any potential issues as early as possible.
Common Pediatric Eye Conditions:
Refractive Errors: Refractive errors, such as nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism, are common in children. These conditions can cause blurry vision and affect academic performance and daily activities. Early diagnosis and appropriate corrective measures, such as glasses or contact lenses, can significantly improve a child's visual acuity.
Amblyopia (Lazy Eye): Amblyopia occurs when one eye has significantly reduced vision, usually due to a misalignment or refractive error. Without proper treatment during early childhood, amblyopia can lead to permanent vision loss in the affected eye. Patching the stronger eye or using special eye drops to blur the vision temporarily in the stronger eye are common treatment approaches to encourage visual development in the weaker eye.
Strabismus (Crossed Eyes): Strabismus is a condition in which the eyes are misaligned and do not point in the same direction. This can result in double vision and can affect depth perception. Treatment options for strabismus include glasses, vision therapy, and in some cases, surgery to align the eyes properly.
Pediatric Cataracts: Although rare, cataracts can occur in children. Pediatric cataracts can be present at birth (congenital cataracts) or develop during childhood. Timely surgical removal of the cataract and appropriate post-operative care are necessary to prevent vision loss and ensure optimal visual development.
