Paediatric Ophthalmologist
Though people may think that kids are the miniature of adults it is wrong. Their visual needs, disorders are different from adults. Kids grow fast, so their body parts but until their eye-brain coordination fully develop, they need special attention and focus. So, pediatric ophthalmology has amplified with a special discipline and they are indeed a subspeciality in Opthalmology.
Good care is needed for the visual attention of children and the pediatric opthalmologist is the one who is the best in this case. He also can ensure proper visual development for both functional and structural ( including cosmesis ).
How is the eye of the child different?
Your child deserves special care when it comes to physical health but when it is a matter of eye it needs special attention. This is entirely different from those of adults in terms of eye care. Reasons are
If anyone has a problem in their eyes in their early childhood, they need to correct that early. The brain and eye connection are needed to be corrected soon otherwise it will remain uncorrected and will create problems later. They may suffer from lazy eye or amblyopia problems. In this case, when the child will grow old corrective glasses would prove fruitless also. Amblyopia is a therapy that is critical at early ages.
If someone suffers from congenital anomalies or disorders of development, the problem is shown in the early ages of life. That causes refractive errors which require corrective glasses, misalignment of eyes, congenital nasolacrimal duck block, ptosis or lid droop, cataract and glaucoma.
If a baby is born immature, there is a high chance of suffering from an eye disease which is called ROP or Retinopathy Of Prematurity. As they were in a tumultuous stay in their nursery they often suffer from ROP that is vison threatening also for some time.
If your child is malnutrient, especially because of Vitamin-A, there is a high chance of eye problems. In this case, they might suffer from drying of eyes, corneal ulcers and even blindness. Children who are fussy and choosy eaters sometimes be deficient in micronutrients though they are healthy and well-fed
Children are prone to catch allergies as they are super active and they play outdoors.
Day by day device use are becoming necessary for children. In their free time, they are using screens for entertainment purposes. This causes major eye problems in this age group.
Eye tumours and malignancies are proved to be eye damaging and that happens often in early childhood. That turns into retinoblastoma or eye cancer.
What are the symptoms and signs of eye problems in children?
When a child is in school we often see they are facing problems in reading books or blackboard and writing, which is the indication of poor vision.
Any squint or deviation of the eyes
When they have an infection in their eyes, they may rub it frequently or they suffer from headache or red eye or watering from eyes.
Eye problem is genetic sometimes. The need for glass for refractive errors passes from generation to generation to many families. If they diagnose at an early age, the problem may be solved to a certain level. In that case, they need to check up frequently by doctor’s guidelines.
