Maedica (Bucur). 2020 Sep;15(3):391-393. doi: 10.26574/maedica.2020.15.3.391.

Abstract

Pediatric ocular diseases can be detectable through a comprehensive eye examination and most of them are preventable once they are discovered. There is a well known fact that children can have ocular pathology such as cataract, refractive errors, strabismus and amblyopia. In children, low vision can have a negative impact on their growth and development; therefore, any visual impairment must be detected as soon as possible to prevent amblyopia development.
