Eye Problems in Children

When to seek medical advice
If you notice any signs or symptoms of eye problems in your child, it is important to seek medical advice from an eye care professional. Some indications that warrant a consultation include persistent eye redness, excessive tearing, frequent eye rubbing, squinting, complaints of blurry vision, crossed or misaligned eyes, or any other noticeable changes in your child’s vision or eye appearance. Prompt medical attention can help identify the underlying cause of the issue and ensure appropriate treatment or intervention, if necessary, to support your child’s visual development and eye health.

Treatment for Eye Problems

Treatment may include prescription eyeglasses or contact lenses to correct refractive errors, eye patching or vision therapy to address amblyopia (lazy eye), eye muscle exercises or surgery for strabismus (crossed or misaligned eyes), medications or eye drops for conjunctivitis (pink eye), surgical correction for ptosis (droopy eyelid), or surgical intervention to clear blocked tear ducts. The treatment approach will be tailored to the individual needs of your child, and regular follow-up visits with the eye care professional will be important to monitor progress and ensure the effectiveness of the treatment plan.
