>>LEARN MOREChildren′s Eye Disorders
A comprehensive pediatric eye exam can diagnose many different eye conditions. Some of the more come eye conditions in children are:
Your child may be nearsighted (myopia), farsighted (hyperopia) or have astigmatism. It is important that children who need glasses, wear them full time when they are young to develop good vision in each eye and three dimensional vision.
Amblyopia or “lazy eye” - Amblyopia occurs when the vision is reduced in one eye, causing it to be weaker than the other. This can occur because there is a difference in prescription between the two eyes and one eye becomes more dominant. Amblyopia can also occur because of strabismus, or misaligned eyes. If an eye turns in or out, it does not see as clearly as the straight one and becomes weaker. Rarely, cataracts or severely droopy eye lids can cause amblyopia as well. The primary treatment for amblyopia is patching the stronger, more dominant eye to allow the weaker eye a chance to gain vision. Dilating drops can also be used in some cases to blur the vision in the better eye, in essence working as a patch.
Strabismus or misaligned eyes - Eyes can cross in (esotropia), drift out (exotropia) or be higher or lower than the other (hypertropia or hypotropia). For specific kinds of strabismus, glasses are sufficient to straighten a child’s eyes, otherwise eye muscle surgery is required.
Ocular abnormalities - Rarely, children can also develop cataracts, retinal or optic nerve problems, which can also decrease their vision.
