THE EYE EXAMINATION

The eye examination is a fundamental step to diagnose, exclude or monitor any pathology of the visual apparatus in children. This applies from preschool through adolescence and into adulthood.

It is performed by the specialist in ophthalmology (oculist or ophthalmologist), in collaboration with the orthoptist, who specializes in motor and functional disorders of the visual system.

It is extremely important to be able to prevent and treat any eye diseases of genetic origin (strabismus, congenital cataract, congenital glaucoma) or acquired with growth (myopia, hyperopia, astigmatism, amblyopia) to give an immediate response and a solution to the problem.

The first eye examination of the child is usually performed by hospital staff, 2 days after birth, to ascertain the possible presence of pathologies such as congenital cataracts, melanoma, retinoblastoma, and in the case of premature subjects, retinopathy of the premature infant.

Visual defects

Astigmatism

In astigmatism, the rays of light are distorted as they enter the eye. Some light rays spin behind the retina and others in front of it. The cause, usually, is a different curvature of the...

Myopia

In myopia, the light rays are focused on the front of the retina so that distant objects appear clouded and those nearby appear sharp. The causes are either an excessive eyeball length or excessive focusing...

Hyperopia

In hyperopia, light rays focus behind the retina, so that nearby objects appear clouded. The causes are either a shorter than normal eye or poor focusing power. A modest amount of hyperopia is normal in...

Eye diseases
