Pediatric Ophthalmology & Developmental Disorders

This track delves into the diagnosis and management of visual disorders in children, a field requiring unique expertise and sensitivity. Pediatric ophthalmology encompasses a broad range of conditions including amblyopia, strabismus, congenital cataracts, and genetic eye diseases. Through interactive case discussions, surgical videos, and research presentations, attendees will gain valuable insights into evidence-based pediatric care. Emphasis will be placed on early detection, non-invasive interventions, and child-friendly surgical techniques. Experts will also address challenges such as compliance with vision therapy, refractive error correction in children, and visual screening in schools. Innovations in pediatric imaging, anesthesia, and teleconsultation for pediatric eye care will be highlighted. The session will also explore the psychological aspects of pediatric vision disorders, including developmental delays related to vision loss. This track provides an excellent platform for pediatricians, ophthalmologists, orthoptists, and researchers to collaborate and share strategies to enhance vision health in the younger population, ultimately improving lifelong visual outcomes.
