Squint and Pediatric Consultation
Squint is also known as strabismus, and it is the most common cause of pediatric ophthalmologist visits in Dubai. However, the problem can be found in people of all ages for a variety of reasons.
In this section, we’re covering squint and other causes of pediatric consultation. When is a good time to bring your child to the ophthalmologist?
Squint And Other Causes Of Pediatric Eye Consultation
In squint (strabismus), the eyes point in a different direction. One of them could be looking straight while the other is turning in, out, up, or down. It is usually an eye muscle problem, but different structural causes should be evaluated.
Squint is one of the most common eye problems in children, followed by refraction errors, congenital eye problems, ptosis, nystagmus, and developmental abnormalities. Diagnosing children’s visual problems might not be easy, especially if they are very young and do not communicate properly. Thus, if you suspect eye problems in your child, come to Eye Consultants Center to meet one of the best pediatric ophthalmologist in Dubai.
When Do You Need To Bring Your Child?
Sometimes children purposefully play with their eyes, and this is not necessarily a case of strabismus. Keep in mind bringing your child to an eye specialist if you notice one of these problems:
- Squint is maintained all the time
- Squint comes and goes, but your child is older than three months
- Your child tends to close one of his eyes when looking directly at something
- Your child tends to turn his head to one side when looking directly at something
- Your child is reporting double vision or developing squint later in life
