Abstract

Management of refractive errors in children is a challenge to pediatric ophthalmologists. The challenge started from the diagnosis of the refractive errors by several techniques for both verbal and non verbal children. Traditional therapy includes correction of errors by spectacles and contact lenses. In cases of anisometropia & high ametropia the management of amblyopia should be done. Refractive surgeries may be a good solution for children who has difficulties in wearing spectacles and is ill-suited to correction by using contact lenses. A lot of modalities can be used with great safety in children. excimer refractive surgery as PRK, LASIK, LASEK, which can be used in refractive errors ranging from +6D to -10D.
