How to distinguish children's eye health problems?

Parents need to pay special attention to children's eye health. If eye problems are not checked and treated in time, they will have a serious impact on children's vision and quality of life. In Guangzhou Zhongshan Children's Eye Hospital, we are committed to providing professional eye health services for children. So, how to distinguish children's eye health problems? Let's elaborate from the following four aspects.

Abnormal appearance signal

The abnormal signal of children's eye appearance is often the early manifestation of eye problems. Parents should pay close attention to the changes of children's eye appearance. Such as protruding eyes, strabismus, abnormal eye distance, eyelid swelling, etc. These may be caused by abnormal eye structure, eye muscle problems or abnormal tear excretion. In addition, parents also need to pay attention to yellowing whites, excessive red blood, frequent tears and inflammation of the eyelid margin.

If the child's eyes are found to be abnormal, the child must be taken to a professional children's eye hospital for examination in time to diagnose and treat eye problems as soon as possible.

Signs of abnormal vision

The development of children's vision is in childhood, and in this period, the abnormal signs of vision are relatively obvious. For example, children blink frequently, stare at objects for a long time, shake their heads when looking at things, often rub their eyes, and stare blankly. These may be children's visual development problems, such as myopia, hyperopia, strabismus, etc.

Vision problems will bring inconvenience to children's learning and daily life, so parents should timely observe the children's vision, and immediately go to the ophthalmic hospital for examination and consultation when finding abnormalities.

Eye pain or discomfort

If the child has eye pain or discomfort, it may also be a sign of eye health problems. It may be because of inflammation, infection or injury of eyeball, eyelid or periocular tissue. At this time, children often express eye irritation, burning, dryness, trachoma, tears, etc. If these feelings persist or occur frequently, you need to go to the hospital to further check whether there are eye diseases.

Inattention or learning difficulties

Children's inattention and learning difficulties may also be related to eye health problems. Some eye problems will interfere with children's visual perception and attention, thus affecting children's learning effect. For example, visual fatigue and poor coordination of eye muscles can lead to problems such as children's reading and writing difficulties, slow writing, and writing errors.

Therefore, parents should pay attention to their children's learning performance. If they find that their children have learning difficulties, they should not immediately identify them as learning ability problems, but should first consider whether there are eye health problems and take their children to an eye hospital for inspection.

In short, parents should always pay attention to the health of their children's eyes, detect abnormal signals in time, and take their children to the hospital for inspection and treatment in time. Only in this way can children's eye health be guaranteed and they have good eyesight and quality of life.
