Below is a list of common pediatric eye conditions treatable at Chico Eye Center. Visit APPOS for a complete glossary of pediatric eye conditions and for more information on each of the described conditions below.
Vision loss resulting from a failure of visual development during childhood. It can occur in one or both eyes and is typically caused by a large or asymmetric glasses prescription or strabismus.
Eye misalignment, which can result from numerous causes. Eyes may be crossed (esotropia), wandering (exotropia), or vertically deviated (hypertropia). This can occur in both children and adults.
Blockage of tear drainage into the nose occurs in 5% of infants as the nasolacrimal duct did not fully open before birth. This causes symptoms of tearing, discharge, and eyelid redness.
The anatomy of an infant’s face can create the illusion that the eyes are crossed, even when they are actually straight. This is commonly observed in photographs or if the infant is looking slightly off-center. A complete eye exam is needed to differentiate pseudostrabismus from true strabismus.
Lazy eye is a term given to a variety of eye conditions. While some use it to describe vision loss due to amblyopia, others use it to describe eye misalignment from strabismus and still others use the term for a droopy eyelid due to ptosis.
