In this video, Dr. Rahil Chaudhary explains the long-term impact of undiagnosed or untreated eyesight issues. He emphasizes the importance of timely diagnosis and treatment for both children and adults:
✅ For Children:
If a child has a refractive error and doesn’t wear glasses on time, their eyes might not develop properly due to insufficient light focusing on the retina.
◼️ This can lead to Lazy Eye (Amblyopia), a condition where vision remains permanently blurred and cannot be corrected later.
◼️ Squint (misalignment of the eyes) is another issue that needs early diagnosis to prevent complications.
✅ For Adults:
Adults who don’t wear glasses despite having a refractive error may not face severe vision problems but could experience Asthenopic Symptoms, such as:
◼️ Eye strain and discomfort
◼️ Redness, itching, or watering
◼️ Burning sensation or blurred vision
Dr. Chaudhary advises anyone experiencing these symptoms to consult an eye specialist for timely intervention to avoid worsening eye health.
