Pediatric Refractive Errors

Pediatric refractive errors are vision problems in children that occur when the eye does not focus light properly. This can lead to issues like nearsightedness (difficulty seeing far away), farsightedness (difficulty seeing up close), or astigmatism (blurry vision due to an irregularly shaped eye). These conditions can affect a child's learning and development if left uncorrected. Regular eye exams are essential for early detection, and they can be treated effectively with glasses, contact lenses, or sometimes surgery, helping the child see clearly and thrive in daily activities.
