The early years are fundamental to vision development as this is constantly developing throughout this season. Any deficiency or anomaly that goes undiagnosed in these early years can leave vision defects that can later become permanent. As such, ophthalmology for children has an important role to play in prevention. The first paediatric ophthalmology check-up should be carried out at age three and, under normal circumstances, should be repeated annually.
You should attend an exceptional paediatric ophthalmology consultation before age three if:

It is important to carry out a series of check-ups all through a child’s development as a child who is born with a vision abnormality will not complain of seeing poorly as they will always have seen like that, and many of these defects can only be solved with early treatment.
Amblyopia, more commonly known as “lazy eye”, appears when the eye develops incorrectly due to a lack of visual stimulation. Early diagnosis and treatment are key to being able to recover full vision.
Yes, although less prevalent, almost all disorders that we typically associate with adult age, such as glaucoma or cataracts, can appear in children.
The prescription strength and consequent need for using glasses or contact lenses, can be the result of myopia, hyperopia or astigmatism. In cases of myopia, the prescription will typically increase. However, in certain hyperopias, we may see a reduction in the prescription strength with growth as it is really a physiological hyperopia due to the small size of a child’s eye, so it can resolve as the child grows.
