Common Vision Problems in Children

Squints (Strabismus)

Misalignment of the eyes, where one or both eyes may turn inward, outward, or upwards.

Lazy Eye (Amblyopia)

A condition where one eye is weaker than the other, often due to strabismus or uncorrected refractive errors.

Colour Vision Deficiency:

Approximately 1 in 10 boys experience difficulty distinguishing between certain colours, such as red and green.

If you notice any of these signs or have concerns about your child’s vision, it’s important to schedule an eye examination to ensure early diagnosis and treatment.
