Childhood cataracts are reported to affect 1 to 15 children out of every 10,000. The wide range is due to differences in populations, age groups, ascertainment methods, and case definitions. Congenital cataract affects 1 to 3 people out of every 10,000 in developed countries.

Children with cataracts, like adults, will have their lens of the eye clouded, reducing their vision quality. While adults can sometimes avoid cataract surgery, children may require it more urgently. Untreated cataracts can have long-term effects on a child's vision, interfering with visual development due to an immature and developing brain.

This is why, in some cases, a paediatric eye specialist may recommend paediatric cataract surgery. If you suspect your baby or child has cataracts, an eye specialist for children can advise you on what to do next. Dr Swati Sinkar is a highly skilled paediatric ophthalmologist who specialises in cataract surgery. Consultations are available in Dr Swati's private rooms in North Adelaide.]]> 2021-06-26 06:27:06 UTC https://padlet.com/michellesharma/nu6ws43qipe2suwp/wish/1626204372 michellesharma https://padlet.com/michellesharma/nu6ws43qipe2suwp/wish/1643900895 Wearing sunglasses and avoiding exposure to environmental factors such as sunlight and UV rays as much as possible, as well as staying out of windy and dusty environments, can help to reduce or slow pterygium growth. 

In any case, limiting your exposure to wind, dust, pollen, smoke, and sunlight can help to slow the growth of pterygium. 

For more information on pterygium removal, contact Dr Swati Sinkar, a leading Adelaide local ophthalmologist who can advise you on eye care health and pterygium prevention.

This is essentially a blinding eye condition that, if not detected early on, can result in irreversible blindness.

Although a nuclear sclerotic cataract can cause a temporary improvement in close-up vision due to changes in the eye's ability to focus, overall vision quality will deteriorate over time.

If you suspect your baby or child has cataracts, a paediatric eye specialist can advise you on what to do next. Dr Swati Sinkar is an experienced paediatric ophthalmologist who specialises in cataract surgery.

It can affect children of any age, teens, and adults too. It occurs when the brain doesn’t fully recognise the pictures it’s receiving from one eye, so becomes more reliant on the opposite eye. One eye becomes stronger, and therefore the other becomes weaker, or “lazy”.]]> 2021-08-14 04:01:06 UTC https://padlet.com/michellesharma/nu6ws43qipe2suwp/wish/1678829759 michellesharma https://padlet.com/michellesharma/nu6ws43qipe2suwp/wish/1837570297 Glaucoma is a series of illnesses affecting the visual nerves.

The condition means that both eyes are unable to focus on an object at the same time.

Strabismus is classified into two types: esotropia, in which the eyes bend inwards, and exotropia, in which the eyes turn outwards (there are some less common forms of squint as well). Squinting symptoms can appear as early as six months of age, but it can also occur later in life.
