Why Children's Eye Care is Different
Children’s eyes are developing rapidly – and vision problems often go unnoticed because kids may not realize they aren’t seeing clearly. Early detection is key, as many conditions are treatable or even reversible if caught on time.
Common Pediatric Eye Problems
- Refractive Errors – Nearsightedness, farsightedness, astigmatism
- Lazy Eye (Amblyopia) – One eye weaker than the other
- Squint (Strabismus) –Eyes not aligned properly
- Congenital Cataract or Glaucoma –Present from birth
- Allergic Conjunctivitis / Eye Rubbing
- Blocked Tear Duct (Watery eyes in babies)
- Digital Eye Strain / Myopia due to screen time
When to Get Your Child’s Eyes Checked
- At birth (if high-risk delivery)
- Age 1–2 years (especially if premature)
- Before school (3–5 years)
- If child squints, sits close to screens/books
- Frequent headaches, eye rubbing, watery eyes
- Poor school performance or attention issues
