Eye Problems Found in Kids:
Early detection is crucial
As caregivers, do not we all wonder at any time when the child is not interested in any particular activity or is quite unclear. But how often do we monitor the child to understand the problem which can be difficult for him to express? Compared to all the senses, Vision is very important for the overall development of the child and the good sight gives proper input to the brain. Any obstruction insight in the early years not only reduces eyesight but also affects the brain and as a result, there is a total delay in the milestone.
A child's eye is not only a small version of the adult eye, and due to blindness / visual disorder in childhood, adults are different from blindness. Occasionally, children are unable to express visual problems and therefore effective treatment requires eye screening to identify all children in the first phase with any problem.
A child's eye is not only a small version of the adult eye, and due to blindness / visual disorder in childhood, adults are separated from blindness. Occasionally, children are unable to express visual problems, and therefore, in order to identify all the children in the first stage with any problem for effective treatment, eyes need to be examined.
Social smile or lack of eye in contact with eyes, closing the distance of reading during reading or writing, blackboard / watching TV, unusual eye movements, night blindness, excessive photophobia or intolerance in light, white reflection through eyes (which Can be seen in photos too), redness, water, discharge, cross or distracted eyes, large or major eyes, drupe eyelids, any visual structural Osh, delays in developing milestones. Most of these can be identified if someone looks at it. Some of the above symptoms can be seen in isolation or joint.
Ideally, it is good to check the eyes on birth, 6 months, 1 year, school entry and post, which is necessary as and when necessary, depending on the symptoms or presence of any family eye conditions. Child eye screening, glass power check-up, and hairy-eyed physicians require an eye doctor to thoroughly scrutinize a wide-eyed eye.
Depends on the treatment conditions. The following are some common-eye diseases, which can affect children aged 2-6 years.
- Neopardia (myopia) or vision (hyperopia), refractive errors in the form of instability A pair of glasses can correct the above. It is important to note that changes in diet can not back or reduce glass power.
- The lazy eye or amblyopia can be due to refractive error, strabismus (squint) or any obstruction of vision that can block the image formed in the retina of the eye, for example, cataract, corneal opacity. In the treatment of sluggish eyes, there is an improvement in the cause of spectacles and patch therapy, where the better eyes are patched using eye patch for 2-6 hours per day.
- Squint - Strabismus - Cross Eyes: There are many varieties of squid in children. Some of them are innate and some are later acquired in life. Distracted eyes can be cured by either eyeglasses or surgery.
- Cataract: In children, congenital or developmental cataracts are different from adult cataracts. Most of them require initial surgical treatment and eyeglasses. Some of them may be associated with general health problems, which should be co-managed by eye specialists and pediatricians. Periodic follow-up after surgery is very important.
- Glaucoma: This is a situation where the pressure is more in the eyes than for different reasons. The main basis of treatment is surgery.
Other childhood eye conditions include retinoblastoma and other tumors, retinopathy of pre-treaty and other retinal/optic nerve disease, petrous or drupe lids, birth defects, brain, and eye-related conditions.
Some of the irreversible blindness or serious visual impairment in children can be highly assisted by low vision aids, rehabilitation, alternative education systems such as braille or computer-aid education. Parents, teachers, and carers play an important role in identifying and improving problems in children.
