Why is Pediatric ophthalmology important?

When looking for a "pediatric ophthalmologist near me" on the internet, one should be aware of the benefits of visiting a specialist in pediatric ophthalmology and the importance of having an eye doctor specifically for children.

Just like an expert doctor is important for your child's overall health, your child's eyes require the special attention of a pediatric ophthalmologist. This is because children's eyes develop at different ages and are entirely different from adults.

What are the most common symptoms of eye problems in children?

A child can show several symptoms, all of which should be fully reported to pediatric ophthalmologists to diagnose the eye condition and, in case it does, to give a proper and quick treatment.

Early identification of eye disorders may help to reduce the risk of damage and improve treatment results.

A list of the Most Common Symptoms of Eye Problems in Children are:

  • Poor eyesight: your child struggles with reading or keeps books near to their face.
  • Frequent eye rubbing 
  • Seeing white light in a child's eyes in a photo  
  • Strabismus (squint) or eyes point in different directions
  • Double or blurry eyesight
  • Headaches, eye rubbing, red eyes, chronic eye infections, and watery eyes
  • Abnormal eye movement

Whether supporting an infant with pediatric cataracts treating a toddler in an emergency with trauma/ injury or treating an adult with abnormal eye movements or squint, we are dedicated to the care of each patient. Examining children's needs special skills and their treatment protocols requires specific training, knowledge, and equipment.

We have built the infrastructure for service delivery including equipping the facilities and supporting community work, along with the development of all cadres of human resources required. We have a dedicated pediatric eye care team comprising an ophthalmologist, anaesthesiologist, optometrist, nurse, and outreach coordinator who have undergone specific training in the management of eye diseases in children.

Timing of Eye Check-ups for Children In the absence of specific problems, it is recommended that every child undergoes a routine eye check-up at 3 years of age. Vision screening should be part of school admission requirements followed by annual routine check-ups to ensure early detection and management of any potential eye issues.

Symptoms and Signs of Eye Problems in Children Symptoms indicating potential eye problems in children include persistently squinting, sitting close to screens or the front of the classroom, being unaware of distant objects, excessive blinking, or eye rubbing. Blurry distance vision that improves as objects get closer can be a sign of myopia. Regular eye exams are essential to detect and address these symptoms early on to prevent long-term vision issues.

A pediatric ophthalmologist is a doctor who helps children with their eyes. They are experts in treating all kinds of eye issues in kids, like problems with vision or eye diseases. These doctors can do everything from simple check-ups to complicated surgeries for children's eyes. They make sure kids feel comfortable during their appointments and use special tools to check their eyes. If a child has any eye problems, trouble seeing, or needs surgery, a pediatric ophthalmologist is the right person to help.

Poor vision in children can be caused by various factors are:

  • Albinism: A condition passed down from parents that affects how many colors the eyes have, causing problems like trouble seeing clearly, eyes moving around a lot and sensitivity to light.
  • Eye Injuries: Serious accidents that hurt the eyes can make it hard for children to see, or even cause blindness. Kids need to wear protective glasses during activities that could hurt their eyes.
  • Cataracts: Cloudiness in the eye's lens can make it difficult to see clearly. Sometimes, surgery is needed to fix this.
  • Glaucoma: When the pressure inside the eye gets too high, it can damage the optic nerve and make it hard for kids to see if not treated.
  • Retinal Diseases: Conditions like Bardet-Biedl syndrome, Leber congenital amaurosis, retinitis pigmentosa, Stargardt macular dystrophy, and Usher syndrome can affect how well children see or even cause blindness.
