In the ophthalmic world, paediatric ophthalmic problems are on the rise every passing day across the globe. The problems are common and rampant, which can largely impact a child’s growth and development. At Medivision Hospital, Hyderabad, we take a modern approach to diagnosing and treating paediatric ophthalmic eye conditions. In this blog we’ll go through the general eye issues in children and MediVision’s innovation to address the problem.

Common Refractive Errors

Conditions like myopia (nearsightedness), astigmatism, and hyperopia (farsightedness) are common in children as well as in adults. In children, they can be corrected at ease with glasses or contact lenses.

Amblyopia

Visual Development occurs in children till around 8 years of age. Till then, proper alignment of eyes and correction of refractive errors is necessary for the correct development of vision and connections to the brain. When such development does not happen accurately, the vision will not improve in adult life, whatever treatment is given. This condition, called Amblyopia, is another condition that is detrimental to a child’s life and vision development. This condition goes up when one eye is weak and fragile, causing reduced vision if neglected for a long time. In this case, early intervention is crucial

Understanding Paediatric Eye Problems and Treatments at MediVision

Strabismus (Crossed Eyes) or Squint

In the long run, misalignment of the eyes can lead to poor vision or amblyopia if it’s neglected. Correction of refractive error or eye exercises will be advised to the children after a thorough and detailed evaluation by our top paediatric ophthalmologists. In some cases, surgery might be required for the correct alignment of the eyes

Significance of early intervention

When it comes to paediatric ophthalmic eye conditions, one needs to be extra careful to address the issues. Therefore, regular checkups are important for efficient treatment. Paediatric ophthalmologists recommend eye tests and complete screening in key developmental stages.

Screening

Be it amblyopia, strabismus, or any other issues, screening of vision at every stage and an early age helps to go to the roots of the ophthalmic issue to prescribe the right solution.
