Ensuring optimal eye health in children is crucial, as early visual development directly impacts learning, social interactions, and overall quality of life. Pediatric eye assessments should ideally begin as early as six months, with routine screenings at preschool and school age to detect and manage common conditions like amblyopia, refractive errors, and strabismus. Excessive screen time has become a significant concern in pediatric eye health, contributing to eye strain, myopia progression, dry eye syndrome, blurred vision, headaches, and neck pain in children. Therefore, ophthalmologists should emphasize preventive care and educate parents on recognizing symptoms of eye problems in children.
