π Pediatric Cataracts β Why Early Diagnosis Matters. β¨
Pediatric cataracts occur when the normally clear lens of a childβs eye becomes clouded, interfering with how light reaches the retina. Even small cataracts can impact visual development, as children rely on crisp, clear images during their early years to build strong visual pathways. Symptoms may include blurred vision, poor tracking, light sensitivity, or an abnormal reflex in photos.
Early diagnosis is critical because pediatric cataracts can lead to permanent visual impairment if left untreated. Regular eye exams make it possible to detect changes early, monitor progression, and determine whether surgical intervention or glasses are needed to support healthy vision.
π¨ββοΈ Early detection is key to protecting a childβs developing vision.
