Redness in the eyes, itching, burning or pain are symptoms that you should respond to immediately. Keep in mind that this can be caused by a physical injury that the child was unaware of or the presence of a foreign body, sometimes invisible like dust. It could be a viral or bacterial infection, an allergic reaction or eye pressure.

Online consultations
Online consultations – Redness of the eyes in children can be a sign of serious inflammation and injury to the eye. If you cannot see an ophthalmologist, the best and fastest solution is to immediately schedule an online examination, at which the doctor will tell you what medical care you need.
When it comes to your children, no unnatural eye condition should be ignored or underestimated. Mostly because the youngest ones often do not know exactly what is happening to them, so often something that can be thought of as a banal irritation can be a sign of serious inflammation and eye injury.
Instead of searching for information online or consulting with relatives and friends, immediately schedule an online consultation where our doctor will give you a detailed explanation of the condition and the ways it can be overcome.
“We are witnessing the widespread use of online services related to children’s health. During the pandemic, this number increased significantly, both for routine examinations and for certain diseases”, says Mott Poll and Co-director Dr. Gary Freed from the famous children’s hospital – Children’s Hospital Michigan.
A national survey conducted by the hospital among 2,000 American parents of children under the age of 18 found that one in five children underwent an online examination during the pandemic. Half of the parents used such examinations because of the inability to take their children to the hospital. One-third of them used online examinations because of personal business and minimizing the time the child would spend at the doctor’s office.
We all know that most children do not want to go to the hospital because they feel uncomfortable, scared or guilty. Therefore, do not think and improvise when it comes to your children’s vision and schedule an online examination at the first symptoms.
