Paediatric ophthalmology & visual school for children and their eyes<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

For parents, the health of their children and their eyes is an important heart’s desire. No one wishes their child anything bad or even a permanent illness or defective vision in the eye. Happiness and health are what every parent wants for their child. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pediatric ophthalmology is that part of ophthalmology that deals with eye diseases and defective vision in children. Eye diseases such as myopia or strabismus<\/a> can also develop in children. The child’s brain can defend itself against false images of the cross-eyed eye. The brain suppresses these false images. However, this also creates a weakness. It is important to act in good time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These eye diseases increase the likelihood that the child will develop low vision or other eye disorders and refractive errors later in life. Through an annual appointment with an ophthalmologist (also called an orthoptist) at a vision school or eye center of Doctor-medic B\u00e1nyai, such problems of vision in the child can be detected and even remedied at an early stage.  <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

What refractive errors can occur in the eyes of children?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Already in the first months of a child’s life, various diseases and refractive errors can occur. If one eye is insufficiently involved in the visual process, visual impairment can develop. Inadequate treatment can lead to long-term damage. An ophthalmologist and orthoptist can carry out treatment in a visual school.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The errors of vision in the child can occur unilaterally and are therefore usually difficult to recognize by the parents. Squint angles on the eye are often so small that they go unnoticed when the child sees them. Despite the apparent insignificance, this can lead to laziness (amblyopia). Timely action is required.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The early detection and proper treatment of the disease of the eyes in a visual school (eye center) for children by an ophthalmologist are therefore the important and central element of pediatric ophthalmology. The ophthalmologist and orthoptist tries to ensure the normal development of the children’s eyes with the best possible visual acuity in a visual school.
