Congenital eye disorders result from abnormal development during pregnancy, which may be due to gene mutations or exposure to drugs or alcohol. These disorders can lead to partial or complete blindness. Some issues are apparent at birth, while others may only be diagnosed later in life. Often, the cause of these disorders is unclear.

Retinoblastoma is a retinal cancer where eye cells continue to grow uncontrollably. Treatment depends on the cancer’s stage: intraocular (within the eye) or extraocular (spread). Small tumors are treated with lasers or cryotherapy, while larger ones may require chemotherapy or eye removal.

Cataracts in babies can be congenital or develop early due to infections, metabolic issues, or heredity. Early detection and treatment, often involving surgery by specialists at Prasad Netralaya, are crucial for preserving the child’s vision.

Strabismus, or squinting, affects 2-3% of children and is marked by misaligned eyes. It’s often caused by vision issues or nerve abnormalities and requires prompt treatment. Congenital eye disorders like refraction errors, glaucoma, and eye malformations need diverse treatments such as surgery, medication, or glasses.
