Common Eye Conditions in Children
Amblyopia (Lazy Eye): Reduced vision in one eye due to abnormal visual development.
Strabismus: Misalignment of the eyes, often referred to as “crossed eyes.”
Refractive Errors: Conditions like nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism.
Congenital Cataracts: Clouding of the eye’s lens present at birth or in early childhood.
Congenital Glaucoma: Increased pressure within the eye that may lead to optic nerve damage.
Blocked Tear Ducts: Obstruction in the drainage system of tears, causing excessive tearing and discharge.
Diagnosis and Treatment
Comprehensive Eye Exams: Assessing vision and eye health, often starting from infancy. Vision Screening: Identifying potential vision problems early through simple tests. Eyeglasses or Contact Lenses: Correcting refractive errors to improve vision. Patching Therapy: Covering the stronger eye to stimulate vision development in the weaker eye (commonly used for amblyopia). Surgical Intervention: Procedures like strabismus surgery or cataract removal when necessary.
