Web links: pediatric eye conditions

We use our eyes to take in a disproportionate amount of sensory input, so even a little bit of dim or blurry vision, especially in a child, is a serious concern (see our story on amblyopia). These links take readers to pages that describe the signs, symptoms, and treatments for common pediatric eye problems. Most are run by outstanding children's hospitals, with acclaimed eye care facilities.
