The sooner these issues are identified and addressed, the better.  Pediatric ophthalmology  focuses on the treatment of children's eye problems. Pediatric ophthalmology aids in the early detection of vision-related problems in children. If an eye defect is not repaired within six months of birth, a child will be blind for life. Throughout the first six months of life, the optic nerve is still developing, and if eye problems are not treated at this time, irreversible damage may occur. Similarly, young children may have a variety of vision problems that they are unaware of. This is why it is critical to include pediatric ophthalmology in the curriculum. The Department of Ophthalmology's pediatric ophthalmologists provide comprehensive care for children's eye problems as well as adult strabismus, including diagnosis, treatment, and management (deviated eyes).

  squint treatment image Muscles involved in squinting and eye movements The six ocular muscles control eye movement. Our eyes moved by two muscles from top to bottom, two from left to right, and two more to help with rotation. When eye muscles are working properly, our eyes can sustain focus on a specific location. However, when the ocular muscles are not functioning properly, the eyes do not move together. The medical word for this is squint or strabismus. It could be fixed by squint treatment . Squints (misalignments) come in three varieties: convergent (inwards), divergent (outwards), and horizontal (up or down). Factors that lead to eye strabismus Squinting techniques: A congenital condition exists from birth. Children born prematurely who have retinal damage or those with an eye tumor. If a gene connected to or linked to a disease, like down syndrome, it said to be hereditary. Squinting begins when six ocular muscles can govern and function effectively. The connected nerves a...
