Activity Outline
In
paediatric eye care, urgency is determined not only by disease severity, but by
the narrowing window for visual development. From recognising red flags and
referring promptly, to providing ongoing refractive and low-vision care,
optometrists play a vital role within the collaborative care team. As Dr
Abinaya Valliappan and Dr Shivanand Sheth write, the right care can help unlock
a child’s independence, confidence, and developmental potential.

- Be aware of the clinical classification of vision impairment
