How to prevent eye diseases in children?

How often should you visit an ophthalmologist? What if the baby has "turn sour eyes"? Children squint - as far as it is dangerous? Conveys a cataract inherited?
The difference in the pupils should alert parents. Must first be examined by a neurologist and neooftalmologa because the difference in the pupils can say that there are problems in the brain. If neurological side no problems, made computed tomography, conducted a full examination and did not reveal any pathology, then it may be a variant of normal.

Sometimes an innate difference increasing pupil. If the child is not concerned, then it is not treated. Over time, this in children is becoming more noticeable, because the children pupils themselves are wider than in adults. With age pupils become narrow, so it is not so noticeable. More noticeable in a dark room when physiologically pupils dilate, especially if peering into his eyes. If the child lived to be 10 years old, and you did not notice, so neurologically everything is fine and you should not worry.

Children squint - what to do and how dangerous it is?

Strabismus up to six months is not considered pathological, because the retina matures after birth. Retina - the light-sensitive organ, when a child is born, he has such a clear vision, as we have not. The retina, visual pathways, the analyzer in the cerebral cortex are formed after birth, so the eyes can mow. In three months, it is generally not pathology. If neurologically healthy child, no birth defects or comorbidity, cerebral palsy and other things, all can be normalized. In the year of the child is always watching wide pupil, determine the refractive power of the eye, the so-called refraction, which in a child-free stock. In the year, as a rule, have strabismus should not be. If strabismus occurs because the optical power of the eye, it appears much later, after two or three years.

Prevention and Care
When it is recommended that a newborn baby show an ophthalmologist?

Newborns are always looking at the hospital ophthalmologist. If there are no complaints, look in the month, three months, six months and a year. If you have a problem, you should go to the competent doctor.
If there are no problems, then a year we are expanding the pupil and see the refractive power of the eye, we define the so-called stock-free. Children should be far-sighted, that is they have above-zero refraction. The kids eyes short, so this stock a year should be normal to plus 2.5-3. If the original amount of the reserve in the eye and diopters, for example, add 0.5, then the eye will naturally grow, and this advantage is exhausted before. 0 reached the age of three, goes beyond the already negative. If the original plus a small margin, the child is at risk of myopia. But this is not always the case. Sometimes, it's small in the year, a little before going to school, the whole school - small, but the child - the perfect vision.

If the child "turn sour eyes" - what to do?
Obstruction of the nasolacrimal duct is shown zakisaniya eyes at someone in a week or two, someone a little later, depending on how strong narrowing and how good mother takes care of the eyes of a child. If she is well and actively washes, then maybe later arise.

The initial phase is prescribed antiseptic drops and massage the lacrimal sac to remove this obstruction, because, as a rule, about 10% of babies are born with the closure of the nasolacrimal duct. Normally, it must be opened to the tenth week of fetal development of the child, but sometimes it's plenochka (rudimentary membrane) does not resolve the time of birth, and resolves after. Or in the naso-lacrimal duct is a lump in the form of mucus, which also can be dissolved after childbirth. If this does not happen, because sometimes the reason is not that the cork gelatinous, and some coarser changes, adhesions or more anatomically narrow naso-lachrymal canals, then you need to do sounding nasal lacrimal duct.

Up to six months if the condition persists, then pull no longer need to go on sounding. Probing recommend doing before the age of three with a good prognosis. The longer the pull, the more the running becomes an obstruction, and further prognosis is worse - and require repeated probing and irrigation, and atony of the lacrimal system. In the future, these problems may persist for life and limit the choice of profession. Sometimes parents come with a baby of six months and say, "We were told that it will resolve itself before the year."

But because the smaller the child, the easier it is the operation under local anesthesia - droplets dripped, the probe were tearful way, washed. And furthermore, is likely to re-probing is required. If you are waiting for many months, the inflammatory process is lengthy, big baby, keep it complicated; sedation is required, which means - a hospital.

Heredity
This disease, like cataracts, inherited?

It is one thing - it is age-related cataract, which threatens all of us. When a person wears reading glasses, it's a primary seal the lens. Cataract - is the degree of maturity of the lens opacities may be the smallest in 45, and by 50 years. Age-related cataract - it's like wrinkles as gray hair. Afraid of this word is not necessary, it is a common normal development of the eye, the normal change in the structure of the lens, sealing its layers, and it becomes denser, less transparent, and less flexible. Therefore, with age, some earlier, some later, wear reading glasses. This initial signs that the crystalline lens loses its elasticity. Need to observe the degree of cataract. When the degree of vision becomes low enough that it begins to interfere with life, you have to have surgery. Now there is no clear gradation on visual acuity, all need different vision: one is a driver and he needs 100% sight, someone is sitting at home with his grandchildren, and he only needs 50%. Earlier there was a clear gradation. Visual acuity less than such figures - go for surgery. Now estimate how cataract interferes with a person to live. The main thing is that it does not overripe, in time to do the surgery. Some do surgery to replace the lens in 60 years, some at 70, and to someone and 80.

The operation - replacing a cloudy lens with an artificial transparent. This is a gem of eye surgery perfect operation. If there is a common disease of the body: diabetes, metabolic disorders, obesity, the lens - is as much a living tissue - can thicken faster. After a serious injury and is a dramatic progression of cataracts
