In today’s world, especially post-COVID, children as young as 2 to 4 years old are spending more time on mobile phones and screens. While this may pacify them temporarily, it’s causing a rise in eye health issues. At Kamla Eye Clinic, we specialize in pediatric eye care and squint services, ensuring that your child’s vision is protected early on.

Common concerns in children’s eye health include:

• Refractive errors (glass power) – Uncorrected vision problems can lead to long-term issues like amblyopia (weak vision).
• Squint (misalignment of the eyes) – Early detection and treatment are crucial for proper eye alignment and preventing double vision.
• Amblyopia (lazy eye) – A condition where one eye is weaker than the other, often due to untreated refractive errors or squint. If not corrected early, it can lead to permanent vision loss in that eye.
• Strabismus (crossed eyes) – Similar to squint, but can cause difficulty with depth perception and eye coordination.
• Injuries and infections – From fingernails to pencils, kids can accidentally hurt their eyes, causing infections or swellings.
• Allergic conjunctivitis – Red, itchy, and watery eyes are common in children due to allergies.
• Congenital cataracts – Babies can be born with cataracts, which, if untreated, can lead to poor vision development.
• Ptosis (drooping eyelid) – This can affect vision if the eyelid droops enough to cover part of the eye.
• Blocked tear ducts – Some infants are born with tear ducts that don’t fully open, leading to watery, irritated eyes.
• Rare conditions like cancerous swellings or retinoblastoma – While rare, these need immediate attention for diagnosis and treatment.

At Kamla Eye Clinic, we take every child’s eye health very seriously. Our clinic is fully equipped with a pediatric squint team and neuro-ophthalmology specialists. We focus on giving your child the best chance for a bright future because we know that vision means the world to them.
