Paediatric Ophthalmology at Kiran Eye Foundation
What is Paediatric Ophthalmology?
Paediatric Ophthalmology is a specialized branch of eye care dedicated to the visual health of children. It focuses on diagnosing, treating, and managing eye conditions and vision problems in children from infancy through adolescence.
Common Paediatric Eye Conditions
Amblyopia (Lazy Eye): Reduced vision in one eye caused by abnormal visual development.
Strabismus (Squint): Misalignment of the eyes, where one eye turns in, out, up, or down.
Congenital Cataracts: Clouding of the eye's lens present at birth, which can affect vision.
Refractive Errors:Vision problems such as nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism.
Blocked Tear Ducts:A condition where tears cannot drain properly, leading to watery eyes and infections.
Ptosis:Drooping of the upper eyelid, which can interfere with vision.
