What symptoms should I watch for in my child’s eye health?

What are common pediatric eye problems?

Common issues include refractive errors (blurry vision), squint (strabismus), amblyopia (lazy eye), allergic eye problems, styes, retinopathy of prematurity in preterm infants, pediatric cataracts, pediatric glaucoma, and oculoplastic & lacrimal disorders.

What is squint (strabismus), and why is early treatment important?

Squint, or strabismus, occurs when the eyes are not properly aligned, causing one eye to see an object in a different direction. Early treatment is crucial because untreated squint can lead to lazy eye (amblyopia) and permanent vision loss, including a loss of 3D vision.
