What is an eye problem for a child?

Eye problems are common in children. These problems can happen because of injury, infection or begin at birth. Some concerns can be very minor and need simple treatments. Your 全科医生 is a good place to start for advice on what treatment may work best. Your GP may refer you to a 看专科医生 doctor called an optometrist 或 ophthalmologist.
If you have vision loss or severe pain, you need to be treated quickly at an emergency department.
