Lack of exposure to natural light and focusing on distant objects can contribute to the development of myopia.
Inadequate intake of vitamins C and E and minerals like zinc can impair visual development and eye health.
Airborne pollutants and allergens can cause irritation and allergic conjunctivitis, leading to discomfort and vision issues.
Children are prone to eye injuries during play and sports, which can lead to long-term vision issues if not promptly treated.
Undiagnosed and untreated eye conditions can lead to more severe issues, including permanent vision loss. Regular eye check-ups can identify problems early, allowing for timely intervention and treatment.

Trabeculectomy is a surgical procedure that creates a new drainage pathway for aqueous humor to leave the eye, thereby reducing intraocular pressure. During the surgery, a small flap is made in the sclera (the white part of the eye) and a reservoir, or bleb, is formed under the conjunctiva (the thin covering of the eye). This allows fluid to bypass the blocked drainage channels.
Glaucoma drainage devices, also known as shunts or tubes, are implants placed in the eye to facilitate the drainage of aqueous humor. These devices are designed to create an alternative pathway for fluid to exit the eye, helping to lower intraocular pressure. There are several types of drainage devices, including the Ahmed, Baerveldt, and Molteno implants.
Minimally Invasive Glaucoma Surgery (MIGS) encompasses a group of procedures that aim to reduce intraocular pressure with less trauma to the eye and faster recovery times compared to traditional glaucoma surgeries. MIGS procedures include the use of tiny stents, micro-incisions, and other advanced techniques to improve fluid outflow.
It is recommended that children have their first eye exam at six months, another at three years, and then annually once they start school.
Signs include frequent eye rubbing, squinting, tilting the head, misaligned eyes, poor academic performance, and complaints of headaches.
Many pediatric eye conditions can be effectively treated or managed, especially if detected early. Treatments range from corrective lenses to vision therapy and, in some cases, surgery.
