Congenital Eye Disorders

Congenital eye disorders are vision problems or abnormalities that a child is born with. These conditions can affect various parts of the eye, leading to issues such as misalignment (strabismus), clouded lenses (cataracts), or underdeveloped structures (anophthalmia). Symptoms may include difficulty seeing, eye movement problems, or unusual eye appearance. Early diagnosis and treatment by a pediatric ophthalmologist are crucial for managing these disorders, as they can significantly impact a child's vision and development. With appropriate care, many children can achieve better visual outcomes and improve their quality of life.
