1. My 6-year-old daughter occasionally squints when looking at distant objects. Should I be concerned?
Yes, you need to get her eye power checked. Also, get her eyes checked by an ophthalmologist to rule out any pathology and weakness of eye muscles.
2. What could be causing my 10-year-old’s eyes to turn red, water, and feel itchy by the end of the day?
This is a typical childhood allergy. It could be seasonal or related to overall allergic tendency. Your child needs to avoid rubbing their eyes to decrease chances of eye power increase as well as an increase in the allergy itself. Meet your child’s eye doctor for remedies.
3. My son complains of frequent headaches while reading. He is 8 years old. What can I do? Could this be an eye problem?
Headache is caused by multiple pathologies, and one of them is related to eye problems. Also, eye-related headache is the commonest in children in this age group. So, it’s best to get your son’s eyes checked for power or other reasons like a squint or eye pressure.
4. My teenage daughter has started wearing prescribed contact lenses. I’m concerned about the potential risks associated with improper lens care, overuse or failure to follow hygiene practices. How can I effectively educate her about proper contact lens hygiene and help her avoid eye infections or irritation?
Proper instructions must be followed when using contact lenses. It’s important to refrain from wearing them while sleeping or if experiencing redness in the eyes. Make sure your daughter cleans the lenses daily with the prescribed solution and keeps them in the case when not in use. Before cleaning the lenses, she should wash her hands and dry them. The lens, the case and the solution should be changed every month—it’s not advisable to use lenses beyond the prescribed time. You can meet your child’s eye doctor for cleaning instructions and if there is any concern like red eyes or pain. Also, make sure she doesn’t self-medicate.
