Let your Kid have the Clear Vision with Paediatric Ophthalmology treatment by Experts

Paediatric ophthalmology, the subspecialty of ophthalmology that deals with children’s eye care and diseases, is called Paediatric ophthalmology. A newborn is only able to perceive people’s contours but not their faces. The child can discern the smallest elements in an image as their brains develop, which takes about 10 years. According to various studies, vision abnormalities play a significant role in many cases of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) and learning difficulties in youngsters. However, not every child can tell the exact problem facing the eyes. Therefore, it is suggested for every child to get their first eye check up between 2-3 years of age. A Paediatric ophthalmologist is qualified and experienced to treat your kid if they have an eye condition, need surgery or other medical care, or have trouble reading or seeing far away. Paediatric ophthalmologists are skilled medical professionals who understand how to inspect and treat kids nicely, encouraging them to remain at ease and participate as needed. Additionally, Paediatric ophthalmologists employ tools made specifically for kids. Drishtideep Eye institute offers paediatric ophthalmology services keeping the age factor of kids in mind. Our team of Paediatric ophthalmologists, led by a Paediatric eye specialist, is committed to give individualized care to each child.

How will you know if your child needs Paediatric Ophthalmology consultation?

Regular, thorough eye exams should be part of your child’s healthcare regimen. While concerns like a squint or drooping eyelids are simple, parents may find it difficult to identify refractive and lazy eye disorders. Most children do not tell their parents about the issue because they frequently lack the cognitive capacity to recognize that their visual abilities have changed. Therefore, it is the parents who need to take notice of any changes in their children’s behaviour patterns, such as watching TV closely, straining excessively to read from a book, or suddenly doing poorly in school.

There are different signs your child may show if there is an eye problem and needs paediatric treatment. Some of these signs are-

  • Watering of eyes
  • Repeated rubbing of eyes
  • Squeezing of eyes
  • Unable to read books or read words on school blackboard
  • Abnormal movements of the eyes

Early eye examination for infants should also be encouraged by observing delayed visual milestones, such as failing to follow bright lights, toys, or faces.

Children with amblyopia frequently have eye deviation, aberrant head postures, and roaming eye movements.
