Pediatric eye care is dedicated to identifying and treating vision issues in children, ensuring their eyes develop properly. Detecting eye conditions like myopia (nearsightedness) early can help avoid long-term problems and promote clear vision throughout life.
Myopia is a prevalent vision issue where children can see things up close clearly but have difficulty with objects that are far away. This happens when the eyeball is elongated, causing light to focus in front of the retina rather than directly on it.
Currently, 30% of the global population is myopic, and projections suggest this could rise to 50% by 2050. Factors such as increased screen time, excessive near-work, and genetics are contributing to the growing number of myopia cases.
If left untreated, myopia can result in lazy eye (amblyopia) and other vision-threatening complications. Regular eye exams are crucial for timely intervention and to prevent long-term damage.
At Swarup Eye Centre, we focus on early diagnosis, advanced management of myopia, and tailored treatment for children. Our skilled ophthalmologists utilize state-of-the-art technology to deliver effective vision correction and preventive eye care.
