According to the American Public Health Association, nearly 10% of preschoolers have eye or vision problems. Vision plays a critical role in a child's development. As they grow, children depend on their vision to learn new tasks and develop their coordination and motor skills. It can be difficult to determine if your child is experiencing vision issues, especially when they are young. DuPage Medical Group's Ophthalmologists share what signs to watch for that may indicate vision problems in children.

Dyslexia
This document discusses visual stress, also known as Meares-Irlen syndrome, which is a sensitivity to visual patterns that can interfere with reading. Common symptoms include movement of text, blurring, and headaches. Visual stress is not the same as dyslexia but is more common in dyslexic individuals. Precision colored lenses or overlays can help reduce visual stress by filtering certain wavelengths of light. An optometrist who specializes in colorimetry can perform tests to determine if colored lenses may help with reading difficulties.
Amblyopia
Amblyopia, commonly known as lazy eye, is an impairment of vision that occurs when the nerve pathway from one eye to the brain does not develop normally in childhood, usually caused by an eye turning inward or outward or one eye having significantly better focus than the other. It is the most common vision problem in children affecting ages 1-10. While treatment is most effective before age 8, vision therapy can still help those diagnosed later in childhood or as adults. Treatment involves correcting refractive errors with glasses and patching or medicating the stronger eye to encourage use of the weaker eye.
Do not miss these signs that your eyes are giving that entices you see an eye...
Your eyes may need examination if you experience difficulty seeing clearly, dry eyes often, double vision, eye pain lasting over 24 hours, tearing often for no reason, or blind spots in your vision. Common signs that warrant an eye exam include issues with distant or near vision, dryness, stinging, burning, or pain in the eyes, double vision accompanied by other neurological symptoms, or persistent tearing or blind spots that could indicate underlying health issues like diabetes or infections. It's best not to ignore any changes in vision and to see an optometrist for evaluation.
Why does your child need a pediatric ophthalmologist
People think that an expert Ophthalmologist who can treat adults with high proficiency can treat kids as well, but it is not the case.
Glaucoma is an eye disorder in which the optic nerve suffers damage
Glaucoma is an eye disorder that permanently damages vision in the affected eyes through damage to the optic nerve, progressing to complete blindness if left untreated. Glaucoma can be treated through eye drops, pills, laser surgery, traditional surgery, or a combination to prevent further vision loss, as the damage caused is irreversible; however, if detected early, glaucoma can be managed through medical and/or surgical treatment to prevent most people from losing their sight.

Blindness and its management
The document discusses visually handicapped and visually challenged individuals. It defines different types of blindness from complete blindness to mild or moderate vision impairment. The leading causes of vision loss globally are uncorrected refractive errors and cataracts. Some key causes of blindness include glaucoma, macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy, and certain eye diseases. Symptoms may include cloudy vision, inability to see shapes, or poor night vision. Blindness is diagnosed through eye exams and can sometimes be treated through glasses, surgery, medication or learning adaptive skills depending on the cause and severity of vision loss.
Common eye disorders that most people face
The most common eye disorders are age-related macular degeneration (AMD), diabetic retinopathy, refractive errors, cataracts, and glaucoma. AMD damages central vision and the macula. Diabetic retinopathy is caused by uncontrolled blood sugar and damages retinal blood vessels in four stages. Refractive errors include nearsightedness, farsightedness, presbyopia, and astigmatism. Cataracts cloud the lens of the eyes and are one of the major causes of blindness. Glaucoma damages the optic nerve and can cause blindness if fluid pressure inside the eyes rises slowly.
Squint-Datta Gulnar
Crossed eyes, also known as strabismus, is a condition where the eyes are not properly aligned and look in different directions. It can be caused by weakened eye muscles, abnormal nerve signals, heredity, or blurred vision. Treatment options include prescription glasses, eye muscle surgery, or in some cases patching the stronger eye to strengthen the weaker eye. Lazy eye, or amblyopia, is a reduced vision in an otherwise healthy eye due to poor neurological development, often caused by a difference in vision between the two eyes. Treatment focuses on patching the good eye or prescription lenses. Common eye infections like conjunctivitis are contagious and spread easily, requiring proper hygiene like handwashing after eye contact
Case Study: Congenital Cataracts
This case study describes a child with congenital cataracts who underwent multiple surgeries and treatments over several years. By age 11, the child had developed severe vision loss with only light perception vision in the right eye and 20/200 vision in the left eye. Visual field loss progressed significantly over time. Low vision recommendations evolved from stand magnifiers and telescopes to focus on braille, audiobooks, screen reading software, and closed circuit television to help the child continue their education despite declining vision.
Eye Cataract ppt
This document provides information about cataracts and cataract surgery. It defines a cataract as a clouding of the lens of the eye that causes blurry vision. Risk factors for developing cataracts include older age, UV exposure, steroid or drug use, and diabetes. Symptoms include blurry vision, impaired night vision, faded colors, glare sensitivity, and halos around lights. Cataract surgery is a painless outpatient procedure where the cloudy lens is removed and replaced with an artificial lens to improve vision. Recovery from surgery involves some initial blurry or wavy vision that improves over days, brighter color perception, and follow-up visits with the doctor.

This document discusses amblyopia, or lazy eye. It defines amblyopia as a developmental defect in visual processing that occurs in the central visual pathways. There are three main types of amblyopia: strabismic (caused by misaligned eyes), anisometropic (caused by unequal refractive errors between the eyes), and stimulus deprivation (caused by conditions that obscure vision in one eye). The document outlines the causes, clinical features, workup, and treatment of amblyopia, which involves correcting refractive errors, patching or otherwise penalizing the non-amblyopic eye, and protecting the good eye for those outside the treatment age range.Presentation1
Glaucoma is an eye disorder that damages the optic nerve and causes permanent vision loss if untreated. It often has no symptoms initially, so many people are unaware of vision changes until the disease is advanced. Risk factors include age over 60, African or Latino ancestry, family history, and diabetes. Glaucoma can be managed if detected early through treatment with eye drops, pills, laser surgery, or traditional surgery to prevent further vision loss.
Eye care shubhada
The document discusses various topics related to eye care, including common misconceptions about eye health, the importance of regular eye checkups especially for elderly and children, conditions like cataract and glaucoma, and the need for eye donations in India. It notes that India has a large shortage of donated eyes each year to meet the demand for corneal transplants needed to treat corneal blindness. Eye donations can help restore sight for the many people suffering from corneal blindness without any disfigurement to the deceased donor.

The document discusses several common causes of visual impairment and blindness, including age-related macular degeneration, retinitis pigmentosa, Stargardt disease, and Usher syndrome. It describes how blindness can be inherited, caused by disease or accident. Early vision tests can detect impairment in infants. While blindness presents challenges, with programs, technology, therapy and service animals, blind children can develop normally and be educated through braille, reading devices, and schools for the blind. Treatments range from glasses and surgery to stem cell research, but some vision loss cannot be reversed.

It describes how blindness can be inherited, caused by disease or accident. Early vision tests can detect impairment in infants. While blindness presents challenges, programs exist to help blind children learn Braille, use assistive technology, and attend special schools with the aid of sighted guides or therapy dogs. Treatments range from glasses and surgery to stem cell research, but some vision loss cannot be reversed.
Genetics of glaucoma
Glaucoma is a group of eye diseases that can damage the optic nerve and lead to vision loss and blindness. It is caused by increased fluid pressure in the eye (intraocular pressure) which can damage the optic nerve. The front of the eye produces fluid that normally drains out, but in glaucoma the fluid drainage is blocked causing pressure to rise. Glaucoma often affects older adults but can occur at any age. Risk factors include family history, age over 40, high eye pressure, diabetes, and eye injuries. Treatment options are eye drops, laser surgery, or microsurgery to improve fluid drainage from the eye.

Back 2 School
1. Around 1 in 20 preschoolers has a vision problem that can lead to serious difficulties if undetected and uncorrected. Many vision problems in children go undiscovered until after preschool.
2. Regular vision screenings are important to detect conditions like amblyopia and strabismus early to prevent permanent vision loss. Screenings should check visual acuity, eye alignment and movement, and stereopsis.
3. Screenings involve having the child read letters or symbols on an eye chart with each eye separately to check acuity and for conditions like amblyopia. Additional tests check eye alignment, movement, and stereopsis. The results are used to determine if further eye exams are needed.

The UbiBot Smart Plug is a Wi-Fi-enabled wireless controller that lets you schedule and remotely control everything. You can plug your TV into the SP1, and through the monitoring of the SP1, parents can find out how much time their children are spending watching TV. Consequently, the TV can be turned on or off via remote control.
Amblyopia
Amblyopia, commonly known as a "lazy eye", is a reduction in vision in one or both eyes due to abnormal visual development as the brain learns how to interpret images from the eyes. It occurs during early childhood if the eyes do not work together properly or receive different images. Treatment involves patching the strong eye to force use of the weak eye, improving focus with glasses, or in rare cases surgery. Early diagnosis before age 5 and treatment increases the chances of fully correcting vision.
8.... vision loss
Vision is a complex process involving the eyes and brain. Visual impairments, including partial sightedness and blindness, can impact a child's educational performance even with correction. Early assessment of vision problems is important to identify issues and provide appropriate intervention programs that support the child's development and learning. Common signs of vision impairments in children include rubbing their eyes frequently, having a short attention span, avoiding close work, and complaining of headaches or difficulty seeing clearly.
Visual impairment including blindness
Visual impairment including blindness refers to any impairment in vision that adversely affects educational performance, whether partial sight or blindness. Common signs that a child may have a visual impairment include eyes that don't move together, crossed eyes, frequent blinking or rubbing, and avoiding tasks requiring good vision. Types of visual impairments include strabismus, congenital cataracts, retinopathy of prematurity, and cortical visual impairment caused by damage to the brain rather than the eyes. When teaching students with visual impairments, teachers should encourage independence, communicate with students and support professionals, adapt the classroom environment and materials, and use verbal cues and the IEP for guidance.

This document provides guidance for pediatric vision screening and eye exams. It discusses evaluating visual acuity in young children using picture tests. Photoscreening can identify conditions like strabismus or refractive errors. Tests for ocular motility include the corneal light reflex test to check eye alignment, and the cover test to detect strabismus. Any signs of vision or eye problems should warrant a referral to an ophthalmologist for a comprehensive eye exam.
Amblyopia
Amblyopia, commonly known as lazy eye, is an impairment of vision that occurs when the nerve pathway from one eye to the brain does not develop normally in childhood, usually caused by an eye turning inward or outward or one eye having significantly better focus than the other. It is the most common vision problem in children affecting ages 1-10. While full recovery is difficult after age 8, treatment through patching the good eye or applying eye drops can improve vision.

The pelvic floor muscles support the bladder, bowel, and uterus. During pregnancy and childbirth, these muscles are weakened by hormones, extra weight, and labor. As a result, 50% of women experience urinary incontinence (UI) during pregnancy and 1/3 experience postpartum UI. Maintaining a healthy weight, emptying the bladder regularly, avoiding irritating drinks, and doing Kegel exercises can help strengthen pelvic floor muscles and reduce UI after delivery.

Symptoms of Prostate Cancer
The document discusses symptoms of prostate cancer and screening methods for early detection. Common urinary symptoms include burning or pain during urination, difficulty urinating, and blood in the urine. Other potential symptoms include blood in semen, erectile dysfunction, painful ejaculation, and bone pain. Screening can detect prostate cancer early when treatment is most effective, as symptoms often do not appear until later stages. Screening methods include a digital rectal exam to feel the prostate and a prostate specific antigen blood test to check for elevated levels of proteins. People should talk to their doctor about routine visits and screening.
Risk Factors for Prostate Cancer
Age, race, family history, and weight are key risk factors for prostate cancer. African American men and those with a brother or father diagnosed have a higher risk and should start early screening at age 40, while all men's risk increases with age. Maintaining a healthy weight through diet and exercise can lower risk. Men concerned about their risk factors should schedule an appointment with their doctor to discuss detection options.
