Unlike adults, children need special attention and care when dealing with eye-related issues. The Pediatric Ophthalmology department at INFIGO Eyecare, equipped with the best to serve the best possible treatment for children’s ophthalmic treatments, whether a simple consultation or a complex surgery, can be treated under one roof by our highly qualified doctors.
Every child must be diagnosed properly for their eye issues before they are enrolled in a school. Children under the age of 5 are unaware of their issues and thus many major issues can go unnoticed by their family. Conditions like Refractive Error and Amblyopia can go unnoticed if not diagnosed at a very young age. When there is a family history of eye issues, the children must get an eye checkup regularly.
It is extremely important to diagnose vision issues in a newborn as soon as possible. If it is failed to be treated within the early months, the child is likely to be visually impaired for the rest of his/her life. It does not always lead to complete blindness, but can be an issue for a lifetime for the child.
Out of 6 kids, 1 has vision-related issues. Some of the most common pediatric ophthalmology issues are :
