Kids and their Precious Eyes a talk by Dr.Vandana kabra II Feyre - Talk II

Children's eyes are fascinating and complex organs that undergo significant development from birth through adolescence. Here are some key characteristics and aspects of children's eyes:
At birth, a child’s eyes are relatively large compared to their head size. They grow slightly over time but reach about 90% of their adult size by age one.
Newborns have limited visual acuity, seeing mostly blurred images. By six months, their vision improves significantly, allowing them to see finer details and recognize faces.
Babies can distinguish between light and dark but develop full color vision around four months of age.
Binocular Vision -
The ability to use both eyes together to form a single image develops over the first few months and is essential for depth perception.
Common Eye Features -
Iris and Eye Color
Many babies are born with blue or gray eyes. The final eye color can change over the first year as melanin develops in the iris.
Pupil Size -
Children's pupils are generally larger than adults', which helps them see better in low-light conditions.
Tears and Tear Ducts -
Newborns may not produce visible tears until they are a few weeks old, even though they can cry.
Functionality and Vision Development -
Focus and Tracking
By around three months, infants can focus on and track moving objects with their eyes.
Eye Health and Common Conditions -
Refractive Errors
Conditions such as myopia (nearsightedness), hyperopia (farsightedness), and astigmatism can occur. Regular eye exams help detect and correct these issues.
Amblyopia -
Also known as "lazy eye," this condition occurs when one eye develops better vision than the other. Early treatment is crucial to prevent permanent vision impairment.
Eye Care and Prevention -
Regular Eye Exams
Essential for early detection of vision problems. The first comprehensive eye exam should occur at six months, then at age three, before starting school, and regularly thereafter.
Screen Time -
Limiting screen time and ensuring regular breaks can help prevent eye strain.
Protective Eyewear -
Using appropriate eyewear during sports and outdoor activities to prevent injuries.
