Eye examination is very important in young children. If one notices that his or her child is having difficulty in seeing objects like blackboards or television, eye rubbing, watering, or squinting it indicates that the child might have a refractive error. Abnormal watering, discharge or white reflex in eye should also be brought to the notice of your eye doctor.

Lazy eye is also known as amblyopia. It is caused due to uncorrected refractive errors in childhood, squint or congenital cataracts. Inadequate stimulation of the eye leads to incomplete development of the visualsystem. If not diagnosed and treated in time, it can lead to partial or complete visual loss which can even persist in adulthood.

It is an eye disease caused due to increased pressure inside the eyes also known as intraocular pressure. Increased eye pressure damages the optic nerve. This condition is very common in patients above the age of 50, especially if there is a family history of glaucoma. If not treated in time, it may lead to permanent visual loss.
