Common Eye Problems for Kids.
REFRACTIVE ERRORS
Far-sightedness (Hyperopia)
Near-sightedness (Myopia)
Astigmatism
Lazy eye (amblyopia)
Occurs when one of your kid’s eye sees clearly while the other is blurry. This will cause them to rely more heavily on one eye.
EYE ALLERGIES
Allergic eye reactions are triggered by allergens or irritants in the environment such as dust mites, pollen or cigarette smoke.
Epiblepharon
Epiblepharon is the presence of an extra eyelid fold in the upper or lower eyelid. It causes the eyelashes to scratch and irritate the surface of the eye
Strabismus (squint eyes)
A squint, also called strabismus, is where the eyes point in different directions. It’s common in young children, but can occur at any age.
Ptosis (droopy eyelid)
Ptosis in infants and children is often due to a problem with the muscle that raises the eyelid. A nerve problem in the eyelid can also cause it to droop.
