📌 COMMON EYE CONDITIONS IN CHILDREN 👀
A child’s eyes are highly sensitive and can be affected by both environmental and genetic factors. Early detection is crucial to protect vision and support healthy development:

.

🔹 Refractive Errors (Myopia, Hyperopia, Astigmatism)
Children may have difficulty seeing clearly at near or far distances. Signs include frequent squinting, tilting the head, or rubbing the eyes.

🔹 Strabismus (Crossed Eyes)
The eyes are not properly aligned and may turn inward, outward, upward, or downward. This affects both vision and appearance.

🔹 Amblyopia (Lazy Eye)
One eye has reduced vision because the brain favors the other during development. Without early treatment, this can lead to permanent vision loss.

🔹 Conjunctivitis (Pink Eye)
Symptoms include red, watery, itchy, and swollen eyes. Although highly contagious, it can be managed effectively with timely treatment.

👩‍⚕️ What can parents do to protect their child’s vision?
✔️ Observe and watch for any unusual eye behaviors.
✔️ Limit children’s exposure to electronic devices.
✔️ Schedule regular eye check-ups for early detection and proper treatment.
