Vision is an important aspect of a child's quality of life and intellectual, social, and emotional development. Disruptions to vision during infancy and early childhood can cause lifelong vision impairment or blindness. However, early identification and treatment of eye disease can prevent loss of sight and its consequent long-term effects. Therefore, screening guidelines exist to guide physicians in detecting the most common threats to sight in the different stages of infancy and childhood. This review describes common causes of pediatric vision impairment, the recommended screening guidelines for diagnosing them, and current treatment modalities.
视力是儿童生活质量以及智力、社交和情感发展的重要方面。婴儿期和幼儿期的视力障碍可能导致终身视力损害或失明。然而，早期识别和治疗眼部疾病可以预防视力丧失及其随之而来的长期影响。因此，存在筛查指南以指导医生在婴儿期和儿童期的不同阶段检测最常见的视力威胁。本综述描述了儿童视力损害的常见原因、诊断这些疾病的推荐筛查指南以及当前的治疗方式。
