Pediatric Eye Conditions - Nova Eye Clinic

What Are Pediatric Eye Conditions?

Pediatric eye conditions refer to visual disorders and eye health issues that affect infants, children, and adolescents. Early detection and treatment are essential for healthy visual development and preventing long-term vision problems.

Common pediatric conditions include:

Amblyopia (Lazy Eye): Poor vision in one eye due to lack of proper visual stimulation during development.
Strabismus (Eye Misalignment): One or both eyes turn in, out, up, or down.
Refractive Errors: Myopia, hyperopia, and astigmatism causing blurry vision.
Congenital Cataracts: Cloudiness in the lens present at birth.
Blocked Tear Ducts: Common in infants, causing watery or irritated eyes.
