Dr. said that it is also possible to encounter eye diseases in newborns and warned: any problems, regardless of small or large, experienced in the eye should be taken seriously and consult the support of a specialist. So what eye diseases can be seen in babies?
Turkey Medicals in medical tourism for Antalya hospitals in Turkey and member Specialist Eye diseases Vitreoretinal surgery Turkish Opr. Dr. gave information about eye diseases that can occur in infants:
The neonatal period is of great importance in terms of the frequent control of the developmental stages in the first months of babies. Babies should be able to follow objects up and down with their eyes at the stage of one to three months. After the sixth month, the baby should be able to look in all directions without any restrictions. In this development process, the appearance of a number of eye disorders can often be inevitable. Corneal diseases, cataracts, canjonctivitis, glaucoma, eye tumors, premature retinopathy and tear duct blockages are the most common eye diseases that can be seen in infants. It is possible to achieve successful results thanks to early diagnosis of these disorders. For example, in infants, horizontal corneal diameters should be measured if possible, and this measurement should be recorded. Corneal diameter detection plays an important role in early diagnosis of congenital and infancy eye pressure problems.

DEVELOPMENT PROCESS SHOULD BE CLOSELY MONITORED
The cornea is the transparent tissue located above the colored part of the eye. It can be large or small at birth, as well as flat corneas can often be found. Such changes are often accompanied by congenital anomalies. For this reason, the development process in the eyes of babies should be closely monitored. Corneal diseases, which occur in newborns in the form of spots and blurred vision, can be widely seen.
In cases of corneal diseases, drug therapy is applied with early diagnosis. But sometimes in infants, an unexplained abnormality or loss of vision can also occur. If the baby is born with an eye defect, medical treatment or surgery may be required depending on the type of defect.
.
REGULAR EYE EXAMS ARE IMPORTANT
Because the vision system does not fully develop in infants and young children, there is only a certain proportion of vision in the development process. The potential for vision increases with the mobility and attention of the eye. Especially in order for the visual center located in the brain of children to complete its development, information that comes from both eyes at an equal rate must be transmitted directly to the brain. If clear images are not transmitted to the brain, irreversible vision loss may occur in the future. For this reason, early diagnosis of the problem and regular intervals of eye examinations help to prevent irreversible diseases.
In addition to corneal diseases in infants, it is also possible to encounter eye pressure (glaucoma), eye laziness, cataracts, various retinal diseases and tear canal-related disorders.
Glaucoma:
Glaucoma, known as high eye pressure, can occur depending on its structure or in combination with systemic diseases. Early intervention is very important in congenital glaucoma. Otherwise, excessive growth, outward appearance, excessive watering and light sensitivity may occur in the eyes. Congenital eye pressure, which occurs at an early stage, can be treated with eye drops and Glaucoma surgical procedure in Turkey.
Eye Cataract:
Although cataracts are often perceived as a common disorder in adults over middle age, they can actually occur in individuals of any age or even in infants. Cataract in infants and children can lead to laziness in the eye due to its late diagnosis. Especially babies with suspected glaucoma or cataracts should be intervened in the same session after an anesthetic examination, if necessary. Surgery in Turkey to remove the baby’s cataracts is an essential treatment.
Tear duct-related ailments:
A number of disorders caused by obstruction of the tear duct are also among the eye problems seen in infants. The treatment of such ailments is aimed at the source of the problem. In addition to medication for duct blockages and inflammation, massages that work the tear duct are recommended. If these are not effective, surgical treatment can be switched.
