Patient's question:
At birth, it wasn't noticed, but it was discovered when the child was two and a half months old that their pupils were a pale white, and they couldn't see things clearly, but they had a clear response to light.Doctor's answer:
Hello, this situation is quite special. Whether it can be treated needs to be confirmed after a detailed eye examination by an ophthalmologist. This is because if there was previously high myopia, undergoing cataract surgery could potentially cause retinal detachment. Moreover, the development of glaucoma symptoms after surgery makes it even more important to have a thorough eye examination. Due to the diverse factors that can cause retinal diseases in children, it is essential to identify the underlying cause before treatment and follow the principle of symptomatic treatment. Additionally, daily care measures are indispensable. It is recommended to eat less spicy food and consume more eye-protective foods.
