Pediatric Ophthalmology and Strabismus
The condition of having crossed eyes, or strabismus, causes the eyes to not line up properly. To put it another way, one eye is directed in a direction that the other eye is not. When everything is normal, the six muscles that control eye movement coordinate to point both eyes in the same direction. Strabismus patients struggle to regulate their eye movements and maintain appropriate ocular alignment (eye position). The direction that the twisted or misaligned eye is facing can be used to classify strabismus:
turning inward (esotropia)
turning away from (exotropia)
turning upward (hypertropia)
turning downward (hypotropia)
Additional elements to take into account when figuring out the cause and course of action for strabismus include:
Was the issue gradual or did it start out suddenly?
Did it start within the first six months of life, or did it start later?
Is the eye that is affected always the same, or does it alternate?
Is the degree of turning slight, medium, or severe?
Is it constantly present or just occasionally?
Has strabismus run in the family?
Pediatric Ophthalmology
According to estimates, 1.4 million of the 45 million blind people on the globe in 2000 were youngsters from middle-and low-income nations, the majority of whom reside in the most underdeveloped parts of Africa and Asia. This paper's main objective is to discuss the state of paediatric ophthalmology in developing nations and the advancements made in the fight against preventable childhood blindness and visual impairment, particularly corneal scarring brought on by vitamin A deficiency, congenital cataract, and retinopathy of prematurity. We will also go over the prevalence of uncorrected refractive errors and talk about how accessible paediatric ophthalmologists are in poor nations.
Recent findings
Some poor nations have started using vitamin A supplements and measles vaccinations and have noticed a reduction in xerophthtalmia. The prevalence of cataract as a curable cause of childhood blindness is increasing as vitamin A status improves. Amblyopia and untreated refractive abnormalities, with myopia being the most prevalent, are significant and easily treated causes of visual impairment. Retinopathy of prematurity is becoming an important cause of juvenile blindness as neonatal intensive care services in middle-income developing countries increase the survival of preterm children.
Summery
In developing nations, childhood blindness and visual impairment are still serious public health problems, although recent initiatives have offered hope for future progress.
