It is very important to check children’s vision. Some conditions, such as amblyopia, can be treated in babies and small children, but are irreversible once the child is grown up.
Amblyopia or lazy eye is a vision alteration caused by an asymmetry in the position of the eyes. It usually develops at a very early age and is the leading cause of childhood vision loss.
Childhood myopia is the refractive defect that causes blurred vision for objects that are far away, affecting children. It is usually treated with prescription glasses.
Macular degenerations are retinal diseases of genetic origin that cause an early degeneration of the macula that affect adults, young people and children.
