Congenital Eye Abnormalities

Congenital eye abnormalities are conditions that are present at birth, affecting the structure or function of the eyes. These can range from minor issues, like a slight misalignment, to more serious problems that impact vision, such as cataracts or glaucoma. They occur due to genetic factors, environmental influences during pregnancy, or a combination of both. Early detection and treatment are crucial for managing these conditions, as they can affect a child's development and quality of life. Regular eye exams are important for identifying and addressing any congenital eye abnormalities.
