Common Conditions
Refractive Errors
Squint (Strabismus)
Lazy Eye (Amblyopia)
Childhood Eye Infections
Myopia, hyperopia, and astigmatism can affect how clearly a child sees. Appropriate testing helps determine whether vision correction is needed.
Squint occurs when the eyes do not align in the same direction. Early assessment is important because some cases can affect visual development.
Amblyopia is reduced vision in one eye or, less commonly, both eyes due to abnormal visual development. Early diagnosis offers the best opportunity to improve vision.
Redness, discharge, swelling, or discomfort may require evaluation to determine the cause and suitable treatment.
