Common eye diseases in children mainly include the following categories:
1. Conjunctivitis: Caused by bacterial or viral infection, it presents with redness, tearing, and increased eye discharge, and is one of the common eye diseases in children.
2. Congenital nasolacrimal duct obstruction: Resulting from congenital membrane closure or nasal deformities, it is often accompanied by purulent discharge and excessive tearing when exposed to wind.
3. Refractive errors: Including myopia, hyperopia, and astigmatism, these may be related to genetic factors or不良 visual habits, and can affect children's visual development.
4. Strabismus: A problem with eye alignment that may lead to vision loss or amblyopia, requiring prompt detection and treatment.
5. Amblyopia: A condition characterized by abnormal visual development; if not treated promptly, it may cause permanent vision loss.
If any abnormalities are detected, timely medical treatment should be sought.
