Common eye disorders in children 3 :eye:
:two:
Routine eye conditions
:sunflower:
Nasolacrimal (tear duct) obstruction
Red eye
Infectious
Allergic
Inflammatory
Refractive error
:sunflower:
Nasolacrimal obstruction
Present in 5% of NB (usu. deve shortly after birth)
Presentation: Tearing & Discharge
Ddx
Glaucoma, Retinoblastoma
:!: Watch out for Lack of D/C, Large eye, Poor red reflex, Photophobia
Dx
:
Dye disapperance test
Treatment
ATB as needed
Massage-Crigler method
Goal: :arrow_up: pressure in sac
ทำโดย firm steady pressure with downward
Surgery around 1 y/o (or 18 mo. up)
Earlier if symptoms bad enough!
:sunflower:
Red eye
Strategy
Painful/Sensitive to light?
:check: ➭ Ciliary flush? Pupil smaller? Minimal D/C?
:check: ➭
Iritis - refer
:red_cross: ➭ keep goin but don't eliminate iritis yet
Itchy?
:check: ➭
Allergic conjunctivitis
:red_cross: ➭ keep goin
Pre-auricular adenopathy with Watery d/c & Mild lid swelling?
:check: ➭
Viral conjunctivitis
Given Hx of exposure
Highly contagious
Purulent d/c?
:check: ➭
Bacterial conjunctivitis
Not contagious
Responsive to ATBs *unlike every other cause)
Allergic conjunctivitis
Onset
Acute
Itch, with or without mild lid swelling

Supportive treatment

responsive
Including
Remove new Ags from home

Refractive error
Myopia
= nearsighted
Distance vision: blurred
Near vision: fine
Little or No risk of Amblyopia
No imperative Dx in preschool years
:star:Incidence burden in
Asian country
:star::star:
Hyperopia
= farsigthed
Greater accommodation required at near
(Eye must generate focusing effort,
accommodation
to see clearly even at distance
cause either Permanent blur or Strabismus
Critical to Dx
in preschool years
found in Caucasian > Asia
Astigmatism
= Different refraction in 2 meridians
Rarely can cause Amblyopia
Causes
Multifactorial cause
Multistudy look
Outdoor act. may :arrow_down:incidence of myopia
Prolonged near task night vision use ➭ may progress myopia
Genetic
