Track: Pediatric and Neonatal Ophthalmology

Pediatric and Neonatal Ophthalmology

Pediatric and Neonatal Ophthalmology is a specialized branch of medicine focused on the diagnosis, management, and prevention of eye disorders affecting infants, children, and newborns. Early detection and timely intervention are crucial in this field, as visual development during childhood plays a vital role in overall growth, learning, and quality of life.


Key Subtopics:


Retinopathy of Prematurity (ROP): Screening, diagnosis, and management of retinal disorders in preterm infants to prevent vision loss.


Congenital Eye Disorders: Evaluation and treatment of congenital cataracts, glaucoma, and structural ocular anomalies.


Pediatric Refractive Errors: Identification and correction of myopia, hyperopia, and astigmatism to support normal visual development.


Strabismus and Amblyopia: Assessment and management of ocular misalignment and lazy eye to restore binocular vision.


Pediatric Ocular Infections and Inflammations: Diagnosis and treatment of infections, allergies, and inflammatory eye diseases in children.


Neuro-ophthalmic Disorders in Children: Visual pathway disorders related to neurological conditions.


This session emphasizes advances in screening techniques, surgical interventions, and vision care strategies for children and neonates. We invite clinicians, researchers, and academicians to submit abstracts on the above-mentioned topics and contribute to improving pediatric and neonatal eye health.
