Keywords:
pediatric ophthalmology, emerging trends, best practices, cutting-edge technology, telemedicine, artificial intelligence, advanced imaging modalities, interdisciplinary collaborations, gene therapy, preventive measuresAbstract
Pediatric ophthalmology has witnessed awesome improvements and evolving developmentsin recent years, fostering progressed diagnoses and remedies for various eye conditions in children.This assessment encapsulates the present-day landscape of pediatric ophthalmology, emphasizingrising tendencies and quality practices. Notably, the integration of cutting-edge technology, includingtelemedicine, synthetic intelligence, and superior imaging modalities, has revolutionized the sphere,allowing early detection of congenital issues, refractive mistakes, amblyopia, and strabismus.Additionally, a comprehensive method encompassing interdisciplinary collaborations amongophthalmologists, pediatricians, geneticists, and neurologists has augmented the information andmanagement of complex ocular conditions in children. Moreover, customized remedies and generemedies have emerged as promising avenues, offering tailor-made interventions for inherited oculardiseases. Furthermore, the significance of preventive measures, along with ocular screenings in earlyinfancy, has been underscored, contributing to proactive management and preventing irreversible visionloss. This complete evaluation delineates the modern landscape of pediatric ophthalmology, losing mildon emerging tendencies and advocating for fine practices to optimize eye care for childreninternationally.References
