Paediatric Ophthalmology – Problems affecting our little people
Research shows that 1 out of 6 kids has vision related issues. Some of the most common issues affecting the little ones include:
- Drooping of upper eyelids
- Lazy eye
- Refractive-errors
Eye diseases in newborns include:
- Congenital glaucoma
- Cataract
- Retinopathy of Prematurity (ROP)
It is essential to address and rectify the issues in newborns as soon as possible. If not treated within the first six months of the child’s birth, there’s a good possibility that the child gets visually impaired for the rest of his/her life. The reason being, the optic nerve connecting the eyes to the brain is still developing and if any prevalent disease is not treated on time, there could be a permanent disconnect between the eyes and brain, eventually leading to total blindness.
