Paediatric ophthalmology is a subspecialty of ophthalmology that concentrates on treating the various eye problems affecting children. Studies show that a lot of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) and learning issues in children can be attributed to vision problems.
Motewar Netralaya offers specialized pediatric ophthalmology treatment in, Nanded, to ensure the best care for your child’s vision needs.
Research shows that 1 out of 6 kids has vision related issues. Some of the most common issues affecting the little ones include:
- Squint
- Drooping of upper eyelids
- Lazy eye
- Refractive-errors
As parents, we know you’re always watchful of your child’s conveniences and behaviors. But what about the things that bother your child but he can’t express? Yes! There are certain things that are internally annoying to him but he can’t really frame those troubles in words. One such thing is eye disorders. The common signs are as follows:
- Continuous eye rubbing
- Excessive sensitivity to lights
- Problem to follow an object
- Difficulty in focusing
Children should have their first comprehensive eye exam at around 6 months of age. Further exams should be scheduled at ages 3 and 5, and then every 1-2 years thereafter, depending on their eye health.
Common issues include refractive errors (like nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism), lazy eye (amblyopia), misaligned eyes (strabismus), blocked tear ducts, and eye infections.
Watch for signs such as frequent eye rubbing, squinting, tilting the head to see better, closing one eye, holding objects close to the face, sensitivity to light, and complaints of headaches or eye pain.
Amblyopia occurs when one eye doesn’t develop normal sight during early childhood. Treatment may involve wearing an eye patch over the stronger eye to force the weaker eye to work, or using special eye drops to blur vision in the stronger eye.
Yes, contact lenses can be an option for children, depending on their age, maturity, and ability to handle and care for the lenses. Your pediatric ophthalmologist can help determine if contact lenses are suitable.
Some eye conditions, like nearsightedness (myopia), may have genetic components. However, encouraging outdoor activities and limiting screen time for young children may help reduce the risk of developing certain vision problems.
Rinse their eye with clean water if possible, but avoid rubbing it. Seek medical attention immediately if the object or injury seems serious, or if your child is in significant pain or discomfort.
A pediatric ophthalmologist specializes in children's eye care, especially in cases of complex eye conditions or when a child requires specialized treatment or surgery. Your regular eye doctor may refer you to a pediatric specialist if necessary.
