Our team of Ophthalmologist and Pediatrician specialize in assessing and treating child vision and eye co-ordination problems across Bangalore.
The Pediatric Ophthalmology Department manages a large range of eye conditions affecting children. These include common conditions such as eye infections, allergic eye disease, squints and refractive error. In addition we also see children with a range of other conditions including eye problems associated with hearing impairment, developmental problems and inherited eye diseases
If your child is experiencing visual problems, this may affect their future development as they grow. In such cases, pediatric ophthalmologists play an important role in monitoring and assessing their eyes.
It’s important to detect issues early to prevent them from affecting the development of your child’s vision. Common symptoms of eye problems in children include:
1. Eye rubbing: In some cases, frequent rubbing of the eyes can indicate a potential refractive error.
2. Excessive/Frequent blinking: Excess blinking is often the result of irritation from allergic eye disease, though it may also indicate a refractive error.
3. Spot(s) on the white of the eye: Bright red, grey or brown spots may indicate a potential injury, allergic eye disease, or another eye disorder.
4. Discharge: An ophthalmologist can help diagnose viral or bacterial infections, allergic eye disease or a blocked tear duct.
5. Head tilting: If your child struggles to see clearly, they may frequently tilt their head or cover one eye to get clarity.
6. Holding objects very close: If your child sits too close to the television or holds objects very close to their face, this may indicate a potential vision problem.
7. Unequal pupils: While children’s pupils generally appear larger compared to those of adults, if one pupil looks consistently larger than the other or your child’s pupils do not respond to light, it’s advisable to see an ophthalmologist for an immediate evaluation.
8. Droopy eyelids: can be due to ptosis and needs specialist evaluation.
9. Misalignment of the eyes: Any noticeable misalignment of the eyes, whether intermittent or constant is a squint, and should be assessed by a specialist paediatric ophthalmologist.
If you discover any problems with their eye health, you should not ignore them. Our expert and professional pediatrician will be happy to see you for a consultation, and they will work with you to find the best possible treatment plan for your child.
