PEDIATRIC OPHTHALMOLOGY
Children's visual health depends on timely attention, since it is at this early stage that eye problems can be prevented or treated
[Infants should have their first comprehensive eye exam from birth to 3 years]
THE EYES OF THE LITTLE ONES
At birth, babies should have a complete eye morphology examination to rule out congenital diseases.
Early diagnosis and treatment in children is crucial for the optimal development of visual function and adequate school performance.

WARNING SIGNS
[MISALIGNED EYES]
If one or both eyes are not properly aligned, or turn in a different direction than normal, it means strabismus.
[ITCHY EYES]
Repeatedly rubbing the eyes, or having red eyes for no reason, is usually a symptom of eye allergy or allergic conjunctivitis.
[EXCESSIVE TEARING]
Watery eyes (epiphora), are usually a sign of another issue or condition, meaning your child may be suffering from some type of allergy.
[DIFFICULTY READING AT A DISTANCE]
When the child places objects either very close to the face or moves them away, it means that some kind of refractive error, or vision defect, may be developing and glasses are needed.
