In addition to refractive errors such as myopia and astigmatism, ocular disorders that occur in infants, toddlers, and children may present lifelong problems for the child. Conditions such as strabismus, amblyopia, and retinopathy of prematurity may require adaptations in adulthood. In addition, vision disorders that occur in childhood may manifest as problems well into adulthood. When visual impairment is present, there may be further effects on overall health, self-perception, educational attainment, job choices, and a number of other social factors.
除了近视和散光等屈光不正外,婴儿、幼儿和儿童中出现的眼部疾病也可能给孩子的一生带来问题。斜视、弱视和早产儿视网膜病变等疾病可能需要在成年后进行适应。此外,儿童时期出现的视力障碍可能会在成年后表现出来。当存在视力障碍时,可能会对整体健康、自我认知、教育程度、职业选择和其他一些社会因素产生进一步的影响。
